As titles go this one is pretty special. It's my understanding that Neuroscientists themselves claim to understand next to nothing about phenomena in the brain.

As titles go this one is pretty special. It's my understanding that Neuroscientists themselves claim to understand next to nothing about phenomena in the brain. Meanwhile large amounts of what they think they might understand has such large error bars on it won't surprise them to have it all turned over in the future. They claim to have profound second level ignorance, not to even know most of what it is that they don't know yet. That's kind of what makes the field so exciting, what we don't know is almost all of it! Plus it's not some peripheral thing, it's right there at the core of everything we are individually and collectively. Sadly it's had more than its fair share of charlatans and credulous followers. Sure, the Atlantic, nobody expects them to be any good, right? Well we probably shouldn't but sometimes we still do.
