I had a crazy soccer game on Saturday, during which I scored a bunch of goals with only shorts in cold weather. One of the immediate response of my body is that it gave me a fever. I was stuck in bed for the whole Sunday and nothing is tasteful at all. However, I do have interesting experience of dreams, a lot of dreams. One of the most meaningful dream I have ever had yesterday night is that I am actually thinking about dreams.

One of the fundamental things about the world is that there is clearly only one "self" to everyone. No matter how suspicious you are, you are clearly realize that in your daily life, there is only one "I" . However, dream might be one of the only places ( I can not think of another though) where you can vividly watch yourself performing in the scene. The concept of I splits. I think I am not the only person that in my dream, I saw another me.

The more one reads about how brain works, the more one realizes how shallow we know about our brain. It sounds like a philosophical paradox that we believe our brain has the unlimited potential to understand how itself works, unlimitedly.

The first big question is still the map, a connection map of the brain. It does not only have anatomical meaning. It should be a functional map of how information flows through the nervous system. There should be principles of how the wiring develops and changes.

The second big question is the principle of computation. Does the computation of all nervous system has a simple principle as beautiful as "central dogma" so that the difference of our brain and the brain of a fly only a difference of connection organization. Or there is different modules of computations happens in different brains. It is more like a belief rather than models. I believe neuronal computation has a central dogma even if I do not know anything about it. I believe having the map is very urgent.
