I'll keep that in mind for future neuro-y conferences. Most of what I care about is the biochemistry / medical angle of neurons, but it's hard not to wonder how exactly the brain is working through those processes. I had a teacher describe cognitive neuroscience last week as pre-paradigmatic last week. I think he hopes the BRAIN initiative has enough success to transform neuroscience is a similar manner to how the HGP did genetics -> genomics. But I'm not sure how much any of that can play into cracking the philosophy of cognition. I've kinda just taken to the "consciousness is an illusion" school of thought and otherwise neglected that world of questions.
