Cognitive Neuroscience: Rewired or Crosswired Brains?

Cognitive Neuroscience: Rewired or Crosswired Brains?

A new study of congenitally blind participants has provided important insights into the neuronal mechanisms of brain reorganization after injury, with implications for our knowledge of other cross-modal phenomena, such as synaesthesia, and for the generation of qualia.

Integrating robotics and neuroscience: brains for robots, bodies for brains

Researchers in robotics and artificial intelligence have often looked at biology as a source of inspiration for solving their problems. From the opposite perspective, neuroscientists have recently turned their attention to the use of robotic systems as a way to quantitatively test and analyze theories that would otherwise remain at a speculative stage. Computational models of neurons and networ...

Neuroscience and the Three Brains of Leadership

Recent Neuroscience findings have uncovered that we have complex and functional neural networks or ‘brains’in our heart and gut, giving scientific credence to the growing body of leadership literature showing how the world’s best companies are guided by leaders who can tap into the intelligence of their head, heart and guts. Combining these Neuroscience findings with behavioral modeling researc...

Cognitive Neuroscience

. . . Advances [in cognitive neuroscience] have breathed new life into very old arguments about human agency, moral responsibility, and the proper ends of criminal punishment. A prominent group of cognitive neuroscientists, joined by sympathetic philosophers, lawyers, and social scientists, have drawn upon the tools of their discipline in an effort to embarrass, discredit, and ultimately overth...
