Ramachandran says there are some specialized parts of the brain and focuses on how they interact with each other. Today is no different: many discoveries are staring in our face and need no expensive equipment.Īnd Ramachandran certainly walks that talk. He says Galileo understood all planets orbit around the sun with a cardboard with two lenses inside. Ramachandran also often uses very simple techniques and technologies. He says that if I showed you a talking pig you wouldn’t say “but that’s just one, show me one more and then I’ll believe you“.
Instead of discounting and ignoring them as most do, one single example is enough to at least start a theory. Ramachandran says that “borderline cases” and “exceptions” provide the best examples to understand how the brain works. He removes patients from the realm of insanity and say they are often simply defense mechanisms. He prefers investigating borderline neurological cases rather than the norm. Ramachandran has a different approach then most. His contributions have not only helped increase our scientific knowledge, but also helped countless patients. Ramachandran is a neuroscientist and he is known for being a bit of a maverick in the scientific community.
