• Resumen

  • Makin discovers the 19th-century scientist whose work may yet find its way into modern labs. Angelo Mosso may have called his device a machine to weigh the soul, but his interests were purely scientific. More than a century before modern brain imaging had taken the world by storm, the l9th-century physiologist had apparently found away to measure changing neural activity using little more than a balance.
