rayax: “But now we are poised for the greatest revolution of all : understanding the human brain. This will surely be a turning point in the history of the human species for, unlike those earlier revolutions in science, this one is not about the outside world, not about cosmology or biology or physics, but about ourselves, about the very organ that made all those earlier revolutions possible” An extract from the enthralling book The emerging mind by Vilayanur Ramachandran. I thoroughly agree with Vilayanur as he reveals to us why the study of the human brain could be the most significant of all. The above extract simply projects my own thoughts, for what we know, every other branch of knowledge, could be a result of our own brains playing tricks on us. How could we possibly be assured by our observations of our surroundings when we still have riddles to solve regarding the machine that is processing these observations. Yes.  And yes to everything V.S. Ramachandran, amirite.
