We are part of many worlds. Our inner world, our minds, are as complex and interesting as the universe around us and the world of the particles that make up our world. Perhaps this blog prompts us to unleash the our child’s mind at play, our unrestrained curiosity, freedom to explore our inner world, to ask questions about who we are and our world.

This blog contains fiction and non-fiction stories and art. All of the content is designed to explore themes like who we are, how we are different from one another, our range of human experiences, the brain foundations for what makes us human. The creative process expressed in science, art, and storytelling share much in common. All three perspectives can further our understanding of the nature of minds/brains at work. Writers and artists often have taught us as much about our brains as neuroscientists.
