31 Neuroscience Quotes for You to Enjoy

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

Science Every Universe Defines Object Neuroscience He He Or She Exciting Most She Because Makes Brain Branch Human Different Human Brain Far Who Fascinating Unique Each

Neuroscience is a baby science, a mere century old, and our scientific understanding of the brain is nowhere near where we'd like it to be. We know more about the moons of Jupiter than what is inside of our skulls. Matt Haig

When I got out of the military, I finished up my education at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and I had some mentors who said, 'You got what it takes. You should consider going to graduate school, getting a Ph.D. in neuroscience.' I didn't think I had what it took until somebody who had a Ph.D. told me I had what it takes. Carl Hart

I've seen with my own eyes what the effects of Israeli neuroscience research is. It was in my congressional district in Philadelphia that ReWalk, the Israeli company that makes the exoskeleton suit that enables paraplegics to walk, carried out their trials. Chaka Fattah

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

Mind First Framework Data Neuroscience First-Person Integrating Yield Person Experiences Exploring Show Measurements Cognitive Third

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

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

Work Relationship People Think Those Neural Neuroscience Studying Without Reduce Trying Going Where Psychology Processes Much Really View Now Compatible Actually Consciousness Cognitive

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

Work Love Become Philosophers Would See More Neuroscience Involved Lot Closely Going Psychology Anyway Interesting Interesting Work Really Consciousness

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

Good Science Good And Evil Evil Understanding Think Those Complexities Tell See About Neuroscience Take Terms Concepts Does How Limits Brain May Human Where Human Brain Anyway Interested Mean Us Works

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

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

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

Suffering Experience Similar Both Area Neuroscience Empathy True Thus Feels Proven Brain Person Who Suffers

Cognitive neuroscience, and social theorists from Weber to Bourdieu, have recognized that humans act, most of the time, habitually, not reflectively. Both at intrastate and inter-states levels, habits play critical roles in mitigating uncertainty, providing a sense of order, and entrench patterns of cooperation or enmity. Nayef Al-Rodhan

I don't doubt that the explanation for consciousness will arise from the mercilessly scientific account of psychology and neuroscience, but, still, isn't it neat that the universe is such that it gave rise to conscious beings like you and me? Paul Bloom

Me You Will Doubt Universe Gave Rise Neuroscience Arise Like Scientific Still Account Psychology Explanation Beings Conscious Neat Consciousness

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

Saying You First Universe Criminal Out Would Neuroscience Take Knew Like Terms Became First Thing Courts Brain Ultimately Handle Going The First Thing Fictional Storm Format Interested Turned Use Thing

We absolutely do some of the best science in the world in Canada, across a broad spectrum of disciplines: quantum computing in Waterloo, paleontology in Alberta, neuroscience at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health in Vancouver, and many more. Robert J. Sawyer

I think it's a natural human tendency, when you read something, you tend to read a lot of your prejudices into it. And neuroscience is like a lot of disciplines - it has fashions; things change. Sam Kean

You Change Natural Think Something Tend Neuroscience Tendency Like Read Disciplines Lot Human Prejudices Your Fashions Things

I've loved physics from a young age, but I've also been interested in all sorts of big questions, from philosophy to evolution and neuroscience. And what those fields have in common is that they all aim to capture certain aspects of the same underlying universe. Sean M. Carroll

Age Physics Big Young Universe Aim Philosophy Those Evolution Neuroscience Also Underlying Sort Been Questions Same Big Questions Common Young Age Loved Interested Fields Certain Aspects Capture

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
