March 29, 2015: Little giant

I attend a lecture by the illustrious Brenda Milner.  What an honour!
She speaks of experiences as an experimental psychologist in Wilder Penfield’s laboratory.  This petite woman’s research spanned our knowledge of how the mind works—from Penfield’s homunculus to recent fMRI technology.  She describes how she made key discoveries of motor skill function of the brain with her work with HM, one of the most famous patients of neuroscience.
