Quirks!
We are a modern people immersed in a culture dominated by technological advancements. We enjoy the benefits of a prolific scientific age. Our life span is the longest in actual history; [Biblical History does not count]. Information travels at the speed of light in a volume unknown to any human before. And yet we are a people whose daily life is still ruled by mysticism, magic, and myth.
Cognitive science provides us with a rational and patient means of interpreting our world. We can isolate and identify, uncover and understand the perceptive mysteries that entail human experience. These quirks that give rise to creative yet misleading explanations can be dismantled and reformed in the insight of disciplined scientific study.
So join with me as we re-think those idiosyncrasies that make up our mental states. We'll begin by tackling the hydra that is multitasking, and go on to explore topics such as: memory, hunger, sleeping and dreaming, the effect of drugs, habitual actions and thought patterns, and learning environments and strategies.
With your gaze turned inwards and your heart pouring out, eager to find the world desperate to reveal itself.
