  • On Free Will, Consciousness, Attention & Gestalt June 21, 2017
    DasSMACC is just a few days away.  So to get you thinking I have decided to post this rambling train of thoughts that has been brewing for a while in the recesses of my brain.  In honour of our German hosts – this one is an exploration of the concept of Gestalt with a wide […]

  • Clinical Case 141: Saturnine Palsy June 6, 2017
    I know – it is supposed to be a Saturday night palsy, but as you know patients rarely bother to read the textbook before injuring themselves or falling victim to circumstance.
