"To know the brain is equivalent to ascertaining the material course of thought and will, to discovering the intimate history of life in its perpetual duel with external forces." --Santiago Ramón y Cajal
iBrain: Mobile Communication Device in Your Head
Before brain scans, nobody could see your brain. Thinking was one thing; doing was another. Scans, however, have abolished that distinction and illuminated the paradoxical world of cognitive acts. Now, brains scans take us beyond "behavior that is readily observable" to something deeper: behavior within the brain. But this inner behavior, in turn, is only a clue to something still deeper. The purpose of the scans is to detect intention, perhaps the most advanced mobile communication device we're naturally equipped with!
