“The power of life and will by which animals move their bodies with great and lasting force demonstrate that there has to be other undiscovered laws of motion.”
“The world is simple and complex, logical and weird, lawful and chaotic. Fundamental understanding does not resolve these dualities. Indeed, it highlights and deepens them. You can’t do justice to physical reality without taking complementarity to heart.”
“Poetry is more a threshold than a path, one constantly approached and constantly departed from, at which reader and writer undergo in their different ways the experience of being at the same time summoned and released…”
"To us, the only acceptable point of view appears to be the one that recognizes both sides of reality, the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the psychical, as compatible with each other, and can embrace them simultaneously."
"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."

Research interests: coordination in living things; connecting levels of brain and behavior through theory and experiment; principles and mechanisms of CD (sensorimotor integration, learning, perception, language, and development); Using brain imaging (EEG, MEG, fMRI) and behavioral measures.
“The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables discourse to continue. The danger is in the neatness of identifications.”
“I do not see any way to avoid the problem of coordination and still understand the physical basis of life.”
"Strange how things in the offing,
once they’re sensed,
convert to things foreknown;
and how what’s come upon is manifest
only in light of what has been gone through.
Seventh heaven may be the whole truth
of a sixth sense come to pass.
“The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”
“if you hold opposites together in your mind you will suspend your normal thinking and allow intelligence beyond rational thought to create a new form.”
