TatecDESMA9 Week 7

As we watched in lecture this week, the professor was telling us that last week we learned about the body and now this week we are learning about the mind.  The brain and the mind is one of the most  fascinating parts of the human body.  The brain is what operates the mind and the body's functions.  The human brain is a work of art in itself so the mind is an even bigger work of art in the world. 

"Similarly, Proust beat neuroscientists to the punch in discovering that memory is faulty and always changing"(NY Times).  John Lehrer was a very influential person wen it came to neuroscience and the way that the memory of the human race works.  He was a dominating force in the community and that is why he was so famous and well known for his woks.  He beat his colleagues to the punch when the times mattered.  He wrote the book called Proust and became soon famous for it.

Picasso was one of the very most famous artists of all time.  There are few who rank higher than him in his area of specialty.  "Pablo Picasso once said, "We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.""(CNN).   Being a great influencer in recent history art, Picasso shared with us his thought on what art is and we need to remember what he said to succeed and see the things differently.




People, Scientists, and Neuroscientists from all over the world have their own opinion about neuroscience. According to NPR radio, they wrote on their website "Neuroscience, after all, it is widely believed, holds the key to our very nature as conscious beings"(NPR.org).  What a powerful and compelling first sentence to start an article.   They are insinuating that the science is one of the most, if not the most important part of our existence.
