I'm very much enjoying @matthewcobb's "The Idea of the Brain." Also fun to hear him today on @voxdotcom "Unexplainable" podcast talking about metaphors we use to understand the brain. A recent metaphor not mentioned: The brain is a "game engine" (https://t.co/6fCbtOAkKL).

This panel, and the whole conference look terrific -- and registration is free!
