Neuroscience over the next 50 years is going to introduce things that are mind-blowing. -- David Eagleman
Genetics is crude, but neuroscience goes directly to work on the brain, and the mind follows. -- Leon Kass
The neuroscience area - which is absolutely in its infancy - is much more important than genetics. -- Leon Kass
Neuroscience is now a very important research area in biology. We are now understanding a lot more about brains in babies, as well as children and adults. -- Robert Winston
Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how thoughts work, how connections are made, how the memory works, how we process information, how information is stored - it's all fascinating. -- Lisa Randall
I think neuroscience is obviously very esoteric, but I think there are aspects of it that can absolutely be brought down to the level of an interested 11-, 12-, 13-year-old easily. -- Mayim Bialik
Anyway, there is a lot of really interesting work going on in the neuroscience and psychology of consciousness, and I would love to see philosophers become more closely involved with this. -- David Chalmers
I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that. -- Mayim Bialik
Neuroscience has proven that similar areas of the brain are activated both in the person who suffers and in the one who feels empathy. Thus, empathic suffering is a true experience of suffering. -- Matthieu Ricard
Within psychology and neuroscience, some new and rigorous experimental paradigms for studying consciousness have helped it begin to overcome the stigma that has been attached to the topic for most of this century. -- David Chalmers
When it comes to exploring the mind in the framework of cognitive neuroscience, the maximal yield of data comes from integrating what a person experiences - the first person - with what the measurements show - the third person. -- Daniel Goleman
Neuroscience is by far the most exciting branch of science because the brain is the most fascinating object in the universe. Every human brain is different - the brain makes each human unique and defines who he or she is. -- Stanley B. Prusiner
Actually, I think my view is compatible with much of the work going on now in neuroscience and psychology, where people are studying the relationship of consciousness to neural and cognitive processes without really trying to reduce it to those processes. -- David Chalmers
Why is it surprising that scientists might have long hair and wear cowboy boots? In fields like neuroscience, where the events you are recording are so minute, I suspect scientists cultivate a boring, reliable image. A scientist with a reputation for flamboyance might be suspect. -- Steven Pinker
I'm enormously interested to see where neuroscience can take us in understanding these complexities of the human brain and how it works, but I do think there may be limits in terms of what science can tell us about what does good and evil mean anyway, and what are those concepts about? -- Francis Collins
I always wanted to be a scientist, I always thought I'd be a scientist, that was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn't good at science. I didn't have the discipline for it. -- Jonah Lehrer
As says who is deeply involved with neuroscience, emotion consolidates memory, and I think that's true. -- Paul Auster
If you want to know how to please a woman, just talk to a neuroscience major from Columbia. -- Bob Dylan
In school, I studied psychology, linguistics, neuroscience. I understand that there is a real lack of respect for the brain. -- Aloe Blacc
When I read philosophy or neuroscience papers about consciousness, I don't get the sense we're any closer to understanding it than we were 50 years ago. -- Stuart J. Russell
I've always been fascinated with knowing the self. This fascination led me to submerge myself in art, study neuroscience, and later to become a psychotherapist. -- Ariel Garten
The reason a person is a republican is because something is wrong with them. Again, that's science - that's neuroscience. You cannot be well adjusted, open-minded, pluralistic, enlightened and be a republican. -- Janeane Garofalo
The kind of neuroscience that I do and my colleagues do is almost like the weatherman. We are always chasing storms. We want to see and measure storms - brainstorms, that is. -- Miguel Nicolelis
More may have been learned about the brain and the mind in the 1990s - the so-called decade of the brain - than during the entire previous history of psychology and neuroscience. -- Antonio Damasio
It could be - and it has been argued, in my view rather plausibly, though neuroscientists don't like it - that neuroscience for the last couple hundred years has been on the wrong track. -- Noam Chomsky
My philosophy is really based on humility. I don't think we know enough to fix either diagnostics or therapeutics. The future of psychiatry is clinical neuroscience, based on a much deeper understanding of the brain. -- Thomas R. Insel
From my studies of genetics and neuroscience I have come to believe that people fall into four broad personality types - each influenced by a different brain chemical: I call them the Explorer, Builder, Director, and Negotiator. -- Helen Fisher
I wondered if there was a way to teach people how to use their imaginations in prayer and worship. So I began reading books on cognitive therapy and neuroscience and started studying the devotional traditions of the church. -- Gregory A. Boyd
Daniel Dennett is our best current philosopher. He is the next Bertrand Russell. Unlike traditional philosophers, Dan is a student of neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence, computer science, and psychology. He's redefining and reforming the role of the philosopher. -- Marvin Minsky
Although many philosophers used to dismiss the relevance of neuroscience on grounds that what mattered was the software, not the hardware, increasingly philosophers have come to recognize that understanding how the brain works is essential to understanding the mind. -- Patricia Churchland
Advertisers are not thinking radically enough - they look for technology to lead instead of trying the neuroscience approach and thinking about what parts of the brain haven't been activated before. These new experiences bring new capabilities to the brain. -- Jaron Lanier
Well, my parents originally wanted me to become a doctor - that's why I was in school; I was pre-med, and I graduated with a degree in psychology and a concentration in neuroscience. Really, the plan was for me to go to med school. -- Steven Yeun
There's a lot of neuroscience now raising the question, 'Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?', and they're finding out that, no, it's not like that. The body has intelligence itself, and we're much more of an organic creature in that way. -- Joel Kinnaman
I spent so much of my life reading about spirituality and reading about neuroscience and trying different meditation practices. It's a really big part of my life. But it's sometimes hard to talk about. There are so many people in the world who don't live in Southern California and don't spend their time meditating. -- Moby
I studied neuroscience at the cellular level, so I was looking at learning and memory in the visual cortex of rats. Neuroscience mainly exposed me to a way of thinking - about experimentation, about what you believe to be true and how you could prove it - and how to approach things in a methodical manner. -- Ze Frank
The first thing I became interested in in terms of 'Brain Storm' was neuroscience, and that is like saying you're interested in the universe. So ultimately I knew if I was going to handle this in a fictional format, I would have to take a subsection of neuroscience, and that turned out to be the use of neuroscience in criminal courts. -- Richard Dooling
As modern-day neuroscience tells us, we are never in touch with the present, because neural information-processing itself takes time. Signals take time to travel from your sensory organs along the multiple neuronal pathways in your body to your brain, and they take time to be processed and transformed into objects, scenes, and complex situations. So, strictly speaking, what you are experiencing as the present moment is actually the past. -- Thomas Metzinger
Science fiction has these obsessions with certain sciences - large scale engineering, neuroscience. -- Paolo Bacigalupi
I contemplated a career at NIH at one point. I have a neuroscience background. -- Bill Maris
What would be the use of a neuroscience that cannot tell us anything about love? -- John Zachary Young
I read a couple of books about neuroscience and the relationship between the mind and the body. -- Joel Kinnaman
I see psychoanalysis, art and biology ultimately coming together, just like cognitive psychology and neuroscience have merged. -- Eric Kandel
I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience. -- William Mapother
The Holy Grail of neuroscience has been to understand how and where information is encoded in the brain. -- Thomas R. Insel
Exciting discoveries in neuroscience are allowing us to fit educational methods to new understandings of how the brain develops. -- John Katzman
The neuroscience of consciousness is not going to stop in its tracks because some philosophers guesses that project cannot be productive. -- Patricia Churchland
I was actually already doing my Ph.D. in neuroscience when September 11 happened. 'The End Of Faith' is essentially what September 11 did to my intellectual career at that moment. -- Sam Harris
