Thanks for dropping by. My aim in this blog is to post thoughts from my Sabbatical reading of neuroscience and psychology books. In many ways, I write to help me clarify my own thoughts. I’d welcome constructive discussion of these thoughts, and offer them aware how far I am from being an expert in neuroscience.
