I'm a neuroscientist examining how the human brain enables how we think about the world. Think of our brains as computers (a thought itself!). Then add up all of the computers you've ever owned. Reconstruct the gaps in their use. Consider, rather than electricity, their power comes from food, sleep, and emotion. That's your brain - the computer with more memory than you'll ever know and more precious than anything you'll ever own.

Dad, Neuroscience, Technology.
