…more likely to be bulimic. When the American developmental psychologist B.J. Casey put these now 40-somethings inside a brain scanner, the patient ones showed stronger activation in the prefrontal areas of the brain when viewing happy and fearful faces, revealing stronger self-co...

…ose have been carried out with the help of imaging techniques—such as PET scans and func- tional M.R.I.s—that can track brain changes as they happen. These advances in brain imaging, along with an increased understanding of neurochemicals, have transformed a vague and mysterious...

…pable as the corresponding stages of biological complexity. Neural networks started out with a goal of modeling how the brain works. That goal was abandoned as they evolved into mathematical abstractions unrelated to how neurons actually function. But now there’s a kind of conver...

… of apparent mental emptiness, detachment, a state in which rationally instructive thought and the choral background of brain voiced, emotion-ladened, commentary have disappeared into the entropic soup of formless silence. It is this indescribable, ineffable, stillness that we th...

…t was only natural to transfer the evolutionary idea from one mammalian body system (the immune system) to another (the brain). The starting point of Neural Darwinism is the observation that neuronal dynamics may be analyzed in terms of the behavior of neuronal groups. The stron...

…othesis” is in fact the foundation of modern neuroscience. People try to understand how minds work by understanding how brains function; and they try to understand how brains function by studying how information is encoded in electrical and chemical signals, transformed by physic...

…roposed to correspond to what we are conscious of, and are said to be broadcast to a multitude of unconscious cognitive brain processes. Unconscious processes, operating in parallel, can form coalitions which can act as input processes to the global workspace. Each unconscious pr...

honey hit to the brain when we shine. There is evidence that schizophrenia is associated with a dysfunctional dopamine system, which might help explain the overconfidence in their beliefs, especially beliefs in powerful religious icons. Winning boosts confidence, which increases...

…owning engineering achievements of the 20th century. In particular, Wiener’s applications of cybernetic concepts to the brain and to computerized perception are the direct precursors of today’s neural-network-based deep-learning circuits, and of artificial intelligence itself. Bu...

… records at least as far back as Aristotle, the German language is one of the few to capture the feeling by tapping the brain’s promiscuity, combining the word for harm (schaden) with the word for joy (freude). Like envy, schadenfreude is a social, comparative emotion. It erupts...
