I’m reading a book called A Laboratory Manual of Research Methods in Electrophysiology and there is a quote I want to share from the beginning of the section on Brain Potentials and Rhythms, stated by Sir Charles Sherrington, a Nobel prize winning neurophysiologist.

The brain is an enchanted loom where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern, always a meaningful pattern though never an abiding one; a shifting harmony of subpatterns.

-Sir Charles Sherrington, Man on his nature (1942)

I found this description thoughtful and beautiful. I hope you do, too.
