GraFX Exchange Portal provides free tutorials for use with Maxon Cinema 4d and Katachi Graphics using DPIT EFFEX's simulation plugin; helping the Cinema 4D & DPIT EFFEX community obtain a solid understanding of the best plugin for Cinema 4d.
Science has no idea how the brain creates "us, an aware subject". If you're looking for an explanation to that, try religion, or (hopefully) check back in with science in a few centuries. Maybe I've misunderstood your problem with the article...
Here's a review of the actual experimental data concerning the role of anterior cingulate cortex in conflict monitoring and attention.

It's New Scientist. You get it from the news stand instead of a university library. It's aimed at a general public that barely believes in global warming, evolution, or the Big Bang. Nobody will read it if it goes on about receptive field properties of extrastriate pyramidal cells.

This was little more than an image, I was expecting something kickass like an animation of how inter-neuron transmissions go down

The brain is so fascinating. Very interesting article.

Well, I guess that explains the donkey punch.

For more in-depth practical knowledge check out Jeff Hawkins book "On Intelligence" and follow the work from his ongoing research company Numenta. The best laymens book I've found is "The Users Guide to the Brain; Perception, Attention, and the Four Theaters of the Brain" by John J. Ratey, M.D. ©2001

Interesting stuff! Here's a bit on how the brain works during an Ayahuasca session - and a way to replicate it artificially!<a class="user" href="http://www.brainwave-sync.com/page.html?id=10">http://www.brainwave-sync.com/page.html?id=10</a>
