…mation, by cell phones, by packets of data, by every bitstream we jacked into our lives – and it would go right for our brains. Our institutions and our ideas about power and stability would fall apart. The remapping of force that the information revolution represented was a prof...

…Cells seem to be mostly indistinguishable (except for )04 I thought? Size is different on average, but males with small brains are still male. Variation of all traits is higher for males, so there are more high IQ men (wider bell-curve). Given average brain size difference, the s...

…compass their evolutionary history, bonobos have remained virtually unchanged. They are still hairy, quadrupedal, bitsy-brained and barking. They still live in the jungles of Africa. Not a single bonobo, or its close relative the chimpanzee, has ever taken a step out of Africa th...

…s who have extramarital affairs, and trigger-happy murderers who take the lives of innocent people. What changes in the brain enabled us, but no other species, to engage in promiscuous thinking? To understand what changed in the brain, it is useful to paint a few broad-stroke co...

understanding the behavior of others. If your brain mirrors the neural activity in the brain of someone you see acting, this could provide a basis for understanding the motivation for the action. If your brain resonates to the observed action as if you were acting, this could cal...

…eased by a repeat performance of the Crusades. After those Korean bribes via Reverend Moon’s Unification Church and the brainwashing of the Moonies, they’ll finally figure it’s time to make Christ an American again. Incidentally, Billy Graham recently tried to convert me, the sam...

…lidation from other minds, and these social connections represent an important set of invisible forces operating on our brain and biology. The need for social connection extends beyond kin relations and beyond face to face relations to include felt connections with superorganisma...

…andful of connections, in regular, fixed patterns. e Development (self-assembly with interactive sculpting): The human brain grows its units by cell divisions and orchestrates them into coherent structures by movement and folding. It also proliferates an abundance of connections...

a name of a brain place can describe, much less explain in the language of physical or physiological mechanism, a patient’s illogical thoughts, feelings of hopelessness, irrational rage or prayerful gratitude. There remains a wide gap between ideas about the mechanisms of human s...

…ence fiction, Robert Heinlein, called grocking it. This is antithetical to the attitudes of today’s human cognitive and brain sciences which disallow such knowing as deeply suspect unless accompanied by objectively definable observables such as changes in electrical or imaging in...

…r of the Department of Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Director of the UCLA Ahmanson-Lovelace Brain Mapping Center. After receiving his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Columbia University in 1972, he obtained an M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroanatomy and Computer Sc...

…nt from the way we have been doing science. Or at least thought we had; some might argue that we don’t know how our own brains reach conclusions either, and that these new methods are a way of mimicking learning by the human brain. Nevertheless, I find this potential loss of unde...

… created for personal R&D. Recall from earlier sections that when we see someone else in pain, particular areas of the brain activate as we imagine their suffering. Many of the same areas of the brain also activate when we personally experience pain. This is the circuitry for pa...
