When Philosophical Questions Turn to Neuroscience Experimentation

November 30, 2022

philosophical

CNS 2023 Q&A with Sabine Kastner In high school and then into undergraduate school, Sabine Kastner was most interested in the humanities: literature, history, and philosophy. But she would have a formative experience attending a public “Christmas Lecture” by neurologist and neurophysiologist Otto Creutzfeldt in the mid-1980s about the connection between Kant’s philosophy and neuroscience.

Faces Distract Our Movements, Especially Emotional Ones

October 13, 2015

It’s breakfast time, and you head to the fridge to grab some orange juice but just as you go to pour it into your cup, you hear someone calling to you, turn toward the sound, and pour it into your cereal bowl instead or maybe even onto the floor. We’ve all been there – had […]

Where’s My Car? Senior Moments are Not Intractable

June 16, 2014

Framing Our Experiences: New Study Reveals Attention at Neuron Level

July 14, 2013

Q&A with Ron Mangun Two people sitting at a sports bar watching a game may notice very different things around them.
