understand human experience is one of the most difficult, exciting, and important
areas of scientific research into the human condition. The research in this area is
ever fascinating, and much is being learned about ourselves from these efforts.
However, perhaps no other research area lets investigators know how little we fully
understand about the complexities of human experience.
