Brains, you see, vary a lot from person to person - they vary as much as faces do.

When I look at someone's face, there's something in my brain that just clicks - that breaks down their face into the elements that go into a caricature. It might be like the way a chef tastes a dish and can break down into elements what went into it.

You can't imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there's no theory. There's a little, wimpy box on top there.

The brain is the cornerstone of virtually every facet of our lives. I wish we knew more.

The human brain is probably one of the most complex single objects on the face of the earth; I think it is, quite honestly.

Replacing human vision is more than just a tool: we need to understand how that affects the brain.

Well, it seems to me a scientist has need for both vision and confidence.

The most important thing in the face is the eyes, and if you can make the eyes talk, you're halfway there.

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.

Some people say they use images to help them remember intricacies. Others say they just remember. If they are able to form an image of the face, it is because they remember how it was: it is not that an image guides memory, but that memory produces an image, or the sense of imaging. We have no agreed way to talk clearly about such things.
