Introduce myself?  Well I am not a technical diver but am am a recreational 
diver.  I avoid decompression dives, I dive on air and I rarely go below 40m.

I am a neurophysiologist and I am (amoung other things) studying the effects 
of air embolism (call it decompression illness) on brain blood flow and 
function in an animal model.  My research has shown even very small amounts 
of air in the brain can alter blood flow and function.  Larger amounts are 
very bad, and none of this is due to bubbles blocking blood vessels.  I want 
some insight into what sort of damage you people may (or may not?) be doing 
to yourselves.  I hope you don't mind me 'looking over your shoulder' as it 
were.
