At Mind Matters News: Neuroscientist: We are closing in on the secret of self-awareness…

Indian jumping ants can shrink and regrow their brains

It’s certainly true that the brain is plastic. but human brains can do more remarkable things than ant brains. People can function with split brains or half a brain or hardly any brain and be intellectually normal. We didn’t know that before brain scanning.

Researchers: We think we know why humans are smarter than animals

Yet, despite doing completely different things, the human brain uses the same equipment as the chimpanzee brain. Not a good time to be a shallow naturalist. Maybe a deep naturalist; not a shallow one.

Ten reasons why your brain is not the same as your mind

6. If the mind were real, wouldn’t we be able to control things by thoughts alone? We do that now with our bodies. And we can do it under other circumstances too if an electrical connection can be established. Neurons can work with electrical signals from electronics.
