We know that there must be some lawful relation between assemblies of neurons and the elements of thought, but we are currently at a loss to describe those laws.
Interesting practical book on education and neuroscience, but jumps too quickly to conclusions? eg See vitamins & exercise - worth researching further??? Probably bunk
Fascinating synthesis of research about musical memory with analogies with technology (tape recorders, etc). Embodied cognition, too, as auditory pathways seem to have been coopted from motor coordination. Musical recording = temporal event recorded in spacial way.
