The Mind Science Foundation (MSF) is pleased to announce that the TIME magazine "Special Issue", "The Brain: A User's Guide" , features research funded by MSF!
The lead story in the article titled "The Mystery of Consciousness", by Harvard professor Steven Pinker, describes research funded by MSF in which a woman apparently in a vegetative state is asked to imagine walking through her house and playing tennis. Her brain scans show the same results as those of healthy, awake subjects (pp. 60, 61).
The "British and Belgian researchers" referred to in the opening sentences of Dr. Pinker's article include Steven Laureys, M.D., Ph.D. (University of Liege), an MSF Research Awardee.
The research referred to was co-funded by MSF and featured in September of 2006 in the premier scientific publication in the United States, Science, as well as the Wall Street Journal and CNN.
The TIME "Special Issue" on the brain also features comments and work by 4 additional MSF Research Awardees: Dr. V.S. Ramachandran (pp. 77, 110); Dr. Christof Koch (p. 66); Dr. Bernie Baars (p. 65); and Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz (pp. 77, 79).
In 2006, the work of the Mind Science Foundation was also featured in the U.S. News and World Report cover story "Science and the Soul" and the premier British and European scientific journal, Nature.
