WHAT ARE WE UP TO? We cannot possibly make this page a complete rendering of all the spectacular and provocative new research which arises on a daily basis, but by the same token our choices for posting here will most definitely NOT be random or haphazard. There are underlying philosophy of science and epistemological considerations behind what we present and there will, hopefully, be a unified and coherent vision that will emerge from the various postings here. We believe that the neuroscientists and endocrinologists of our time are mired and entrapped in an outdated underlying and tacit set of practically medieval assumptions which make it nearly impossible for the language they use to speak about the brain and its events to ever benefit from all the wondrous technologies and findings in their research. Despite all that knowledge we, as a society and as professionals seeking to improve our wisdom, are as lost as ever in the complexities behind the workings of our mind. Hopefully, also, the rather radical view towards which we are headed will be interesting to most readers and give rise to thought ...if not agreement. OK. :) We must. Here, at the outset of our meditations as we work through this working notebook of key and tantalizing discovers is the video which captures our spirit (I have the same outfit) https://youtube/watch?v=VtvjbmoDx-I And here is our credo, co-opted from our friend, Descartes, more than 400 years ago, at the outset of his Meditations: Some years ago I was struck by the large number of falsehoods that I had accepted as true in my childhood, and by the highly doubtful nature of the whole edifice that I had subsequently based on them. I realized that it was necessary, once in the course of my life, to demolish everything completely and start again right from the foundations if I wanted to establish anything at all in the sciences that was stable and likely to last. But that task looked an enormous one, and I began to wait until I should reach a mature enough age to ensure that no subsequent time of life would be more suitable for tackling such inquiries. This led me to put the project off for so long that I would now be to blame if by pondering over it any further I wasted the time still left for carrying it out. So, today I have expressly rid my mind of all worries and arranged for myself a clear stretch of free time. I am here quite alone, and at last I will devote myself sincerely and without reservation to the general demolition of my opinions. Anyone browsing the page is invited to post a suggestion as to articles/links/research/etc which we will re-post in the main body of the Page. We are just learning how this Page stuff works. And please feel free to agree or disagree, but ONLY with some supporting reference that you can share with us and our readers.
