Vernon Benjamin Mountcastle Quotes and Sayings - Page 1

“Each of us lives within the universe - the prison - of his own brain. Projecting from it are millions of fragile sensory nerve fibers, in groups uniquely adapted to sample the energetic states of the world around us: heat, light, force, and chemical composition. That is all we ever know of it directly; all else is logical inference.”
-- Vernon Benjamin Mountcastle
