The Neuroscience of Self-Determination
An ambitious new project aims to expand the scientific understanding of human autonomy Humans are capable of a level of autonomy — defined as self-determined, flexible, and rational behavior — that leaves other animals (not to mention our most advanced computers) far behind. A new three-year, $10 million project led by psychologists, neuroscientists, and cognitive scientists working out of multiple labs at Princeton University will investigate questions relating to humans’ unique autonomous abilities that could have ramifications in fields ranging from computer chip design to philosophy. Nearly $5 million of the project funding will be provided by the John Templeton…

WATCH: How to Make a Map of the Invisible
You can’t see it, touch it, smell it, or taste it. It is like nothing else in the known world. It exists silently alongside ordinary matter, not interacting with it, but exerting a powerful effect. Its strange, almost imperceptible presence affects the very fabric of the cosmos—in fact, it holds creation together.
