Many congratulations to neuroscientists May-Britt and Edvard Moser and John O’Keefe for their seminal work defining the brain's GPS system. They've found the place that gives us our sense of place.
Winners of the 2014 Nobel Prize for Physiology their discoveries represent the physiological basis for the mental mapping and spatial wayfaring ideas that were at the heart of my 2012 SXSW presentation 'How digital maps navigate the human condition.’ It’s arguably one of the most important areas of human cognitive activity. Their work is an exciting starting point for so much further progress in this field.
Check out the pioneering work that won them the 2014 Nobel Prize.
