A current book review of the newly published book Brainwashed: The Seductive Appeal of Mindless Neuroscience http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/brainwashed-neuroscience... goes into some additional detail about what we can know, and can't know, from current neuroscience research. The best of current neuroscience research helps us know what is flat wrong about earlier preliminary findings from neuroscience research, while the worst of current neuroscience research feeds on the hype hooks in the science news cycle http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1174 to tell us things we want to believe even if they aren't true. As always, we have to discern what's established fact and what's speculation in reports about new research findings. http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html |
