The essence of the dispute: Is it right to say that consciousness happens in the brain, that the brain thinks and feels? For language philosopher Hacker and neuroscientist Bennett, the answer is an unqualified “No.” For Dennett and Searle, it’s a qualified “Yes.” Articles about NEUROSCIENCE: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=neuroscience

“This is a general tendency for everyone,” said Clifford Nass, a professor of communication at Stanford University in a recent article in the NY Times…“Some people do have a more positive outlook, but almost everyone remembers negative things more strongly and in more detail.”

The newly minted Oscar winner for best documentary, Undefeated, has left many critics gushing—with praise, but also tears. The true-life sports tale follows a struggling high school football team in a poor area of Memphis, Tennessee, whose fortunes begin to turn under the guidance of a devoted and determined coach. The emotional story has reduced folks at Forbes, Esquire, and other media outlets to sniffles and sobs. It made us wonder: What actually causes people to cry at movies?

LeDoux writes: “Consciousness and feelings are topics that are best studied in humans. Research on the neural basis of feelings in humans is in its infancy. We will never know what an animal feels. But if we can find neural correlates of conscious feelings in humans (and distinguish them from correlates of unconscious emotional computations in survival circuits), and show that similar correlates exists in homologous brain regions in animals, then some basis for speculating about animal feelings and their nature would exist.” Articles about NEUROSCIENCE: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?page=1&tag=neuroscience

A smile and a frown mean the same thing everywhere—or so say many anthropologists and evolutionary psychologists, who for more than a century have argued that all humans express basic emotions the same way. But a new study of people's perceptions of computer-generated faces suggests that facial expressions may not be universal and that our culture strongly shapes the way we read and express emotions.

Nerve cells from the brain’s emotion hub talk directly to a region that doles out attention, a study of monkeys shows. The connection, described in the April 11 Journal of Neuroscience, may help explain how people automatically focus on emotional events.

Lincoln, among other things, was a very dedicated father. When his sons broke into meeting rooms he would famously, or perhaps infamously amongst cabinet members, halt proceedings to play. This inherent need to please, and indeed the boys’ innate confidence to hurl him away, was a bond that Lincoln may or may not have attributed to the work of evolution. His personal stance on religion and evolution is a hotly debated subject. He was however, indisputably, born on the same day as another giant of the 19th century who had a very clear opinion on the matter – Charles Robert Darwin. The pair were born merely hours apart on the 12th February 1809, 203 years ago yesterday.
