Your Brain: Not Hard-Wired
Una artículo que promueve la idea de que no todas las cosas están dichas dentro del cerebro. La idea de “lo único constante en el universo es el cambio” sigue funcionando aún en los secretos más misteriosos del cerebro.
Les recomiendo el artículo ampliamente.
Algo que me llamó la atención fue:
“One need only turn to the work of the late Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita from Mexico, who attracted general scorn 30 years ago when he suggested that the brain was capable of “sensory substitution.” That is, a blind person could learn to “see,” for example, by substituting the sense of touch for the sense of sight.”
“… For after all, how does an organ that is mostly water and is governed entirely by electro-chemical impulses know that a person needs a new way of sensing the world, one that so far as we know wasn’t necessary to human evolution?”
