However, advances in technology over the past two decades have allowed cognitive neuroscientists to deduce that the mind and emotions are dependent on biological reactions taking place in the brain. Evolved for weight control have been hijacked and overwhelmed by our current obesogenic environment. So even though there is a biological substrate, we need our cognitive controls--the “minded brain”--more than ever if we want to control the burgeoning development of worldwide obesity. Secret Science Club presents "It's All in Your Mind!" w/ Cognitive Neuroscientist Heather Berlin. How much control do you have over your brain? Tuesday, May 21, 8 pm @ the Bell House, FREE! I was basically interested in the ways that cognitive neuroscientists and psychologists had come to understand and do research on a thing called 'autism.' I wanted and humanists moved by the possibility of a felt, embodied layer of knowledge, deeply entangled with what we understand as a conscious awareness, and colleagues who remain sceptical of (what they see sometimes see as) older biological-essentialist rhetorics, now dressed in new theoretical clothing. It is no secret that such a sub-discipline of neuroscience has been introduced in an effort to bridge the manifest gap between the knowledge ascertained about the human brain and any explanatory relationship to human Were sociology merely the study of society defined by a group of conspecifics living together in communities and their interactions, then such a study could (and does in the case of all other species of life) exist perfectly within the realm of biology. Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio has written of our “minded brain. Weight control is biological, but how does the psychological mind work with the biological brain and body?
