John Tierney finds out when he submits himself to the brain scientist's scanner.

Some brain scientists, however, have asked whether the study's importance might be limited.

Indeed, brain scientists claim that even a low-quality, badly designed video game can confer a cognitive edge.

"But," he added, "you are talking to a brain scientist, and it depends on whom you ask."

Hence, in more recent years, both psychologists and brain scientists have limited themselves to explaining circumscribed functions.

By asking appropriate questions, humanists can help brain scientists take these tools out for a real test drive.

Neither of these views is of much interest for brain scientists seeking suggestive computer models.

An outstanding problem for brain scientists is to explain how these separately processed attributes are brought together.

As a Harvard-trained brain scientist, Taylor knew far more about the brain, and strokes, than most people.

Other brain scientists who subsequently contributed further classic studies on cortical cytoarchitectonics are:
