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.

From the growth of the Internet through to the mapping of the human genome and our understanding of the human brain, the more we understand, the more there seems to be for us to explore.

Human experience depends on everything that can influence states of the human brain, ranging from changes in our genome to changes in the global economy.

But the newest research is showing that many properties of the brain are genetically organized, and don't depend on information coming in from the senses.

We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.

Brain research is the ultimate problem confronting man.

The brain is hugely complicated, and because it is so complicated, it requires multidisciplinary research.

I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.

Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how thoughts work, how connections are made, how the memory works, how we process information, how information is stored - it's all fascinating.

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.
