Why Is Patrick McNamara Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Patrick McNamara is an American neuroscientist. His work has centered on three major topics: sleep and dreams, religion, and mind/brain. Biography McNamara was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts on January 4, 1956. McNamara’s father was a career U.S. Air Force officer, so the family lived all around the world until McNamara was seventeen years old. When the family returned to Massachusetts, he began to study philosophy part time at University of Massachusetts Boston. In his twenties he began a period of what he describes as a very fruitful period of in-depth personal exploration of differing spiritual disciplines and philosophical traditions culminating in a life-long distinctive orientation in his philosophical outlook. He returned to college at twenty-seven years old, this time at Boston University, switching his major area of study to neuropsychology, graduating with a B.A. in Psychology in 1986. He received his Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience from Boston University in 1991. His doctoral project involved psycholinguistic investigations into the memory disorders associated with Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome. He had a postdoctoral fellowship under Martin Albert, Lorane Obler, Harold Goodglass and Edith Kaplan for three years in the Aphasia Research Center at the Boston VA .
