Actually, I just realized--you would have noticed the mistake in the brain-based love sonnet. I screwed up my weird neurology: the right angular gyrus is what Blanke was mucking about with when he found out-of-body experiences; the "sensed presence" stuff I was referring to was Persinger's work with left temporal lobe microseizures.
Of course, so few people write neuroscience love sonnets that I could be forgiven for overlooking the difference between temporal lobe seizures and the right a.g. in my excitement.
Wow.
ReplyDeleteGee, thanks!

Cuttle, you silly cephalopod. Of course not. It's to do with the fact that I do neuroscience.
ReplyDeleteI do love your verse. Wish I could write like that.
