Your post bro...I apologize for naming names, but..<br /><br />Your post brought to mind Dr. Gary Small's work. He's published several hopeful books on memory and aging, and technology and the brain (iBrain). <br /><br />Being a non-scientist I can't say one way or the other if his claims have merit, but Dr. Small does seem to have a lot of insight into people's hopes and fears, like parents' fear of losing their kids to technology, middle-aged people's hope for the afterlife and fear of death, and Google's fear of Nick Carr. <br /><br />I haven't read any of his books but found a TechNation podcast he did recently to be quite remarkable. I now wonder if his claims about the efficacy of fMRI techniques are perhaps a kind of flashy carnival barker technique for drawing people into the neuroscience tent, like the 'celebrity neuron' hook.rich solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291705935716832734noreply@blogger.com
