科研就是不断探索问题的边界 人们过去花了数个世纪来接纳数字"零"的存在。而今，"零"正在帮助神经科学家们理解人脑如何感知虚无。与感知和意识相关的 神经科学研究，大多聚焦于我们如何意识到事物的"存在"。然而，对"不存在"的体验也构成了我们意识体验的重要组成部分—— 我们经常能觉察到那些肉眼无法看见的事物，而揭示这背后的神经基础对充分理解意识问题同样重要。 当我观鸟时，总是遇到这样一个尴尬场景——同行的观鸟人指着树冠，让我快看叶子后面藏着的那只 鸟。而每当我举起望远镜来回搜寻时，永远只能沮丧地看见鸟的"空影"。 这类对"不存在之物"的生动体验，对于我们的内心世界而言非常常见，但大脑如何上演这出"皇帝新 衣"式的独角戏仍是个谜—— 当没有任何东西可供感知时，大脑如何产生感知体验？ 作为一个对意识问题感兴趣的神经科学家，研究"虚无"的神经基础无疑是个极其诱人而又富有挑战的课 题。幸运的是， 比起其他虚无，有一种更具体的虚无形式——0，至少0是有形的。 为此，人们不惜花 上大量精力，尝试抓住"零"这个线索——研究人脑如何感知数字"零"，或许就能够最终解开大脑迷雾重 重的"虚无主义"。 "零"在人类社会的发展中扮演了一个 ...

I watched So You Think You Can Dance.I mean, there's something about reality TV where you don't know what's going to happen. And then there was this aspirational American story about success and the apprentice. But I fee ...
