Read and reread ER Kendall

The reading of "Proust was a neuroscientist" was linked to the author's PhD supervisor, another popular science writer and neurobiologist, who is good at introducing complicated concepts with easy words. It reminds me of his talk in Munich 10 years ago with the tile "Reductionism in Art and Brain Science – Bridging the Two Cultures", exactly the same title as in his book published years later. He argues the evolvolution of both science and art are reducing to simple or abatract elements, which I quite agreed at that time. However, the recent progress of omics make me think we need to be concrete to have a macro view.

Let me read and reread some of his important works:

In Search of Memory: The Emergence of a New Science of Mind

Reductionism in Art and Brain Science_ Bridging the Two Cultures

There Is Life After the Nobel Prize

The Disordered Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us About Ourselves

The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind, and Brain, from Vienna 1900 to the Present

Principles of Neural Sciences

Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, And The New Biology Of Mind

Molecular Biology of Memory Storage
