the human brain

first keynote - true to educause form - was scary the world you live in isn't one you recognise stuff - this time with the emphasis on the human brain and neurology. The speaker was great, really entertaining and clearly very knowledgeable. Not something that is easily captured on a blog but if you ask me f2f I'm sure I can bore you with how to solve pain issues in the phantom limbs of amputees with a $4 mirror, what happens to your skin when you see your mother that doesn't happen when you see a chair, how we can all read the martian alphabet and why people with synesthesia make better artists and poets.

Questions welcome but answers may be...er...limited
