ABOUT SCIENCE:
At the moment, neurobiology is one of the most interesting areas of research. Its primary task is to understand how the human brain functions — the most complex structure ever created by nature; to understand what lies behind our thoughts, actions and emotions. If we decipher the basic principles of brain work, we will be able to give an accurate materialistic description of what our consciousness and soul are. Moreover, we will know how to treat nervous system disorders, many of which are still a realm of psychiatrists, although they have a material cause. It will be possible to record information stored in our consciousness and create realistic models of a brain of a particular person; we will learn to place consciousness into a world of virtual technologies and to control neural activity in order to treat nervous system pathologies. Our time is unique because we are on the verge of great discoveries, and young researchers who decided to go into neurobiology have a chance to participate in solving these challenging tasks.
