YOU AND YOUR BRAIN

 

For most of history, the software of the mind, the brain, has been a deep mystery. True, people have for long suspected that the brain, that three pounds of tissue behind their eyes, was somehow responsible for the decisions they made and the emotions they felt. But as to its workings, that was best left to those ‘white coats’ in the laboratory.

And the ‘white coats’/scientists, have been busy, so much so, that what was formerly shrouded in mystery, the brain’s workings, are gradually being unveiled.  And this transition is being brought about, in major part, by Neuroscience and its associated advances in MRI (Multi Resonance Imaging) brain scanning techniques.
