Proust was a Neuroscientist

On Tuesday, November 13 I (Karen) went to Seattle's Town Hall to hear a lecture by Jonah Lehrer. His book Proust was a Neuroscientist just came out and I'm very interested in the pattern he has found of people in the arts predicting scientific breakthroughs. Example: Walt Whitman wrote his poem " I Sing the Body Electric" just before science actually discovered that our body has electrical impulses. Anyway, for those of us in the arts who believe in our field being a way of knowing and a valid experience (even if science hasn't proven it yet) this book is for you. Check it out.
