A new map of the human brain

A new map of the human brain

Combining data from cortical architecture, function, connectivity, and topography. The authors found 97 previously unidentified brain areas. It's jaw-dropping how this sort of discovery happens each year: it's like aliens peering at the Earth with improving technology and discovering the borders of 97 countries they'd missed before.

    Discussing dreaming with Henry Rollins

    I spent an evening speaking at the Rubin Museum in NYC with punk rock legend, writer, and spoken word artist Henry Rollins.  We discussed the origin, meaning, neuroscience, and bizarreness of dreams.

  • Why I am a Possibilian
    Why I am a Possibilian

    Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion. A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story is true or not true. I call myself a possibilian.
