  • I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience. -- William Mapother
  • Kids are different from adults. They are not as developed as far as brain science, controlling impulses, and maturity, and fall prey to all kinds of pressures. -- Greg Boyle
  • I found myself fascinated by neuroscience, attended a monthly lecture on brain science at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, and was invited to become a member of a discussion group devoted to a new field: neuropsychoanalysis. -- Siri Hustvedt
  • One of the things that got me transitioning from physical science to brain science was asking, Why do we understand so much about the universe? -- Edward Boyden
  • A knowledge of brain science will provide one of the major foundations of the new age to come. That knowledge will spawn cures for disease, new machines based on brain function, further insights into our nature and how we know. -- Gerald Edelman
  • I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience. I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories. Aside from the science aspect of it, the philosophical possibilities are so interesting. -- William Mapother
  • I would not hesitate to say I was addicted to the Internet in the first two years. It can be addictive, and things not taken in moderation have negative effects. But the alarmism around 'Facebook is changing our brains' strikes me as a kind of historical trick. Because we now know from brain science that everything changes our brains. -- Clay Shirky
  • The first proponent of cortical memory networks on a major scale was neither a neuroscientist nor a computer scientist but .. a Viennes economist: Friedrich von Hayek (1899-1992). A man of exceptionally broad knowledge and profound insight into the operation of complex systems, Hayek applied such insight with remarkable success to economics (Nobel Prize, 1974), sociology, political science, jurisprudence, evolutionary theory, psychology, and brain science (Hayek, 1952). -- Joaquin Fuster
  • Fantasy and science fiction are where my brain lives. -- Marie Lu
  • A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education. -- George Bernard Shaw
  • Science Fiction will never run out of things to wonder about until the human race ceases to use its brain. -- Julian May
  • Modern science tells us that the conscious self arises from a purely physical brain. We do not have immaterial souls. -- Paul Bloom
  • According to materialistic science, any memory requires a material substrate, such as the neuronal network in the brain or the DNA molecules of the genes. -- Stanislav Grof
  • I think we're all fascinated and a little mystified by how the brain works. One of the most mysterious of the physical sciences is neurological science. -- Alexis Denisof
  • An ultimate joint challenge for the biological and the computational sciences is the understanding of the mechanisms of the human brain, and its relationship with the human mind. -- Tony Hoare
  • Everything you see is filtered through your visual system (imperfect) and your brain (also imperfect, despite what your mom told you). Witness testimony is the worst kind of evidence in science. -- Seth Shostak
  • Even when I wasn't doing much 'science for the public' stuff, I found that four or five hours of intense work in physics was all my brain could take on a given day. -- Brian Greene
  • I would like to be a heart surgeon or brain surgeon... something with that knowledge and the ability to save a life would be pretty cool. I wasn't that good in science class, though. -- Luke Bryan
  • The science supporting the relationship between carbohydrates and dementia is quite exciting, as it paves the way for lifestyle changes that can profoundly affect a person's chances of remaining intact, at least from a brain perspective. -- David Perlmutter
  • Why do we have a brain in the first place? Not to write books, articles, or plays; not to do science or play music. Brains develop because they are an expedient way of managing life in a body. -- Antonio Damasio
  • 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
  • We think scientific literacy flows out of how many science facts can you recite rather than how was your brain wired for thinking. And it's the brain wiring that I'm more interested in rather than the facts that come out of the curriculum or the lesson plan that's been proposed. -- Neil deGrasse Tyson
  • NI love watching science fiction because I feel like when it's done well, it's not just monsters, but philosophy. Really good science fiction like, '2001,' for example, or the first 'Matrix.' But it takes someone who's got a brain and thinks in order to do really good science fiction. -- Alan Arkin
  • The very large brain that humans have, plus the things that go along with it - language, art, science - seemed to have evolved only once. The eye, by contrast, independently evolved 40 times. So, if you were to 'replay' evolution, the eye would almost certainly appear again, whereas the big brain probably wouldn't. -- Richard Dawkins
  • If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on. -- Sebastian Thrun
  • Intellectual curiosity and the human brain are the root of science. -- Eraldo Banovac
  • I'm convinced that art and science activate the same parts of the brain. -- Frank Wilczek
  • There's the whole myth about rocket science. It's really not that hard. It's not brain surgery. -- John Powell
  • although science could pinpoint the exact spot in the brain that ignites rage, they had yet to identify the location that produces love. -- Erich Segal
  • Philosophy, art, and science are not the mental objects of an objectified brain but the three aspects under which the brain becomes subject. -- Gilles Deleuze
  • I believe that modern science supports free will, in showing that the brain can act spontaneously, not only in response to external stimuli. -- Mario Bunge
  • Science tells you love is just a chemical reaction in the brain, Let me be your Bunsen burner baby, let me be your naked flame! -- John Otway
  • It is fair to say that science provides no method of controlling the mind. Scientific work on the brain does not explain the mind-not yet. -- Wilder Penfield
  • As followers of natural science we know nothing of any relation between thoughts and the brain, except as a gross correlation in time and space. -- Charles Scott Sherrington
  • I wouldn't say philosophy and theology are dead. Brain science doesn't invent new philosophies but it helps remind us which of our existing philosophies are more true. -- David Brooks
  • Anything crime related and anything excessively bloody and violent, my brain immediately goes to the science. I think about, "How did you do this? How can we catch you?" -- Bex Taylor-Klaus
