Science Times has a nice interview with the famous brain scientist Michael Gazzaniga this morning (
here), including this from the bit called "Midnight Labs and Martini Time":
On Grant Proposals
This whole idea that you write up an experiment laying out all methods
and questions you’re going to answer beforehand; it’s nonsense. That’s
not the way it works. You’re just trying whatever it is you’re trying;
you don’t know what’s going to happen, and then whoosh! — the thing
pours right out there and generates the next questions, questions you
never would have thought of before.
