inquiring about brains

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Tue, 07/31/2007 - 12:23pm.
What interested me most in this morning's fascinating presentation about neuroscience was that moment, at the very end, when Wendy showed us how quickly the receptors in the brain get fatigued, how rapidly the sensory system "stops paying attention when things are the same." What implications does knowing this have for education, and how we teach?
