There is a feeling that everything is clear with thinking. But is this really so? What do we really know about thinking, its nature and mechanisms? Andrey Kurpatov is one of the largest Russian scientists specializing in applied aspects of brain research and thinking processes.

Reality, as we see it, is only a product of our brain, the result of thinking. In this case, what can we say about our brain, what about reality itself, and what about ourselves? What does science really know about what's going on in our heads? Scientists around the world are just beginning to discuss the need to create an integrative and, most importantly, applied field of knowledge about how the mechanisms of thinking function and how to make them more effective.
