According to science, we’ve already evolved to where our brains are not our own. Our minds easily extend to include the minds of the people around us, expanding our capacity to think, learn, remember, and to create. Dr. Stephen M. Kosslyn, of Stanford University, posits that we use our friends and family as a thought prosthesis, not unlike the physical prostheses our wounded warriors use to restore their bodies to near full-capability. I attended a conference over the weekend and got to listen to a seminar by Dr. Kosslyn, an American psychologist who specializes in the fields of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience who is now director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.
