More quotes by David Eagleman
It is the most wondrous thing we have discovered in the universe, and it is us.
David Eagleman
As Carl Jung put it, In each of us there is another whom we do not know. As Pink Floyd sang, There's someone in my head, but it's not me.
David Eagleman
When the brain activity is kindled in the right spot, people hear voices. If a physician prescribes an anti-epileptic medication, the seizures go away and the voices disappear. Our reality depends on what our biology is up to.
David Eagleman
The continuous networks of neural circuitry accomplish their functions using multiple, independently discovered strategies. The brain lends itself well to the complexity of the world, but poorly to clear-cut cartography.
David Eagleman
Among all the creatures of creation, the gods favor us: We are the only ones who can empathize with their problems.
David Eagleman

Those with Anton's syndrome are not pretending they are not blind they truly believe they are not blind. Their verbal reports, while inaccurate, are not lies. Instead, they are experiencing what they take to be vision, but it is all internally generated.
David Eagleman
This is what consciousness does: it sets the goals, and the rest of the system learns how to meet them.
David Eagleman
If choices and decisions derive from hidden mental processes, then free choice is either an illusion or, at minimum, more tightly constrained than previously considered.
David Eagleman
We are not the ones driving the boat of our behavior, at least not nearly as much as we believe.
David Eagleman
Who you are depends on the sum total of your neurobiology.
David Eagleman
Our reality depends on what our biology is up to.
David Eagleman
Because vision appears so effortless, we are like fish challenged to understand water.
David Eagleman
Every atom in your body is the same quark in different places at the same moment in time.
David Eagleman
As we develop better technologies for probing the brain, we detect more problems.
