Any good books that are an intro to neuroscience? Like Hawking's Brief History of Time. Not rigorous, but a very inspiring overview. I kind of like the subject, but I know little and I'd like to read something that gives me the passion to start reading more dry and rigorous texts.
>Richard Restak's "The new Brain". >Ramachandran's "A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness."
>Take the "Brain & Behavior" course on NYU's youtube channel.
>Check out Erik Kandel's "Principles of Neuroscience 5ed" (when you start studying textbooks)

What's wrong with that? You can't be an expert in everything, but it's good to have an overview of areas outside your expertise

how about you fucking kill yourself? when will this trend of people who don't understand something calling it pseudoscience stop?
