On the brain

Posting a couple of articles/resources I'm collecting for eventual reading related to the human brain.  I think this recent interest in the brain and its working started after watching parts of The Charlie Rose Show's "Brain Series"  over the past couple of months.  Last week I came across this 2001 interview with Danny Hillis. As the superconscious would have it, resources on this topic have displayed themselves to me. Though I believe the kernel germinated back in my days of economic study where I was introduced to experimental economics and neuro-economics. 

So here's today's reading list:

"A mind of one's own" by Raymond Tallis

"What the science of human nature can teach us" by David Brooks

Hmmm… is this like asking your friends for gas money? And what’s the ratio of compliments to complaints.
