You'll find that you need not be concerned if you don't immediately recognize all the terminology of any particular field. Many of the resources collected here contain tutorial presentations which provide needed background. We've added a good deal of commentary of our own to get you started and point out the basic landmarks.

Does the brain tap into the future?

"I'd like you to conduct a short experiment. While looking at your feet, stomp on the ground. You will notice that your visual perception of your foot hitting the floor matches your sensation of touching it. This would be fine except for one thing: the speed of light is vastly faster than the conduction times and synaptic delays through the long nerves and spinal cord from your feet. As a result, you should be seeing the event before you feel it -- and the delay should be noticeable."
