Neuroaesthetics . . .
This from the NYT (h/t to Shannon Selin). We will see . . . but me thinks the results (as with neuroeconomics) will be over-stated. Still, great marketing ploy for the author and his publisher. Check out The Science of Art and Brain and Art. This is a very good culturally informed and salutary article that one…

How the brain attributes the property of awareness to itself is, by contrast, much easier. If nothing else,…
The Neuroscience of Freedom and Creativity
Earlier this year I trailed Joaquín Fuster’s latest book that he so kindly sent me as an uncorrected galley. I’m pleased to report that the book is now finally available. Not surprisingly, Hayek features in this work. If anyone suitably qualified would like to review this book for The Journal of Mind and Behavior or Cognitive Systems Research, please let me know. Pat Churchland has…
Waking, Dreaming, Being: New Light on the Self and Consciousness from Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy
At the beginning of this year Evan Thompson whose thinking has been very influential upon me gave this lecture. Bumping into Evan the other day reminded me of the forthcoming book he mentioned then, which upon its publication, I’ll have reviewed in The Journal of Mind and Behavior where his superb Mind in Life was reviewed by Dorothée…
