I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic!

Politicians are masters of the art of deception.

The problem lies with us: we've become addicted to experts. We've become addicted to their certainty, their assuredness, their definitiveness, and in the process, we have ceded our responsibility, substituting our intellect and our intelligence for their supposed words of wisdom.

Exciting discoveries in neuroscience are allowing us to fit educational methods to new understandings of how the brain develops.

All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.

For the longest time, neuroscientists were forced to be passive observers of brain activity.

I'm tremendously optimistic about the future of my discipline, yet understanding the brain is so difficult that we neuroscientists need help.

It is actually the neuroscientists and evolutionists who do the best job of explaining the reasons behind the most unreasonable behavior.

The real excitement is collaborating with computer scientists and neuroscientists and starting to understand in detail how children learn so much so quickly.

Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
