When I was a grad student, an outstanding research class in perception very nearly wrecked my intentions for a career in the softer sciences. About the same time I had that class, advances in computer science began to contribute to the explosion of neuroscience into the multi-faceted field it is today. My fascination with neuroscience has never waned even after forty years. Shrinkwrapped helped feed that interest today with a post on the development of a parallel processing computer that will function like a brain. Testable hypotheses may be only a decade away. Several links accompany the post. Plug it all into your brain here.
OTR's observations on American culture and experience. And much like that experience you never know what to expect from its participant/observers.
