Abstract

What is currently known about the brain? The maxim in research: 'The more we know, the more we discover there is to know', has never been truer with neuroscience. Some leading neuroscientists even believe that some of the most difficult problems - such as how the one-and-a-half kilograms of fatty stuff in our skulls enable us to be conscious - will require a yet unimagined new science. The impact would be like that of Einstein's relativity at the beginning of the last century. Nevertheless, modern neuro-imaging technologies have opened windows into brain functioning that were unimagined only a few decades ago.
