The neuroscientist is an historicized metaphysician. Kantian, except non-apodictic or testable in their hypotheses. An expositor of the self, except only insofar as this self-conception objectively conforms to the critical scrutiny of many qualified others. The profaner of the religious glory of the most archaic of metaphysical teachings; as science is the profanation of poetry into data. (As [scientific] technology is the compressor of timespace, so too does poetry become data, put otherwise.)
Neurophysics, as such, is the misreading which neuroscience must make of its metaphysical heritages. Neurophysics is the formalization of the rather acute, perhaps even thematic, proximities of neuroscience and metaphysics. Neurophysics is, as such, perhaps not even a sub-species of the neuroscience genus---rather, is an unique kingdom, as it were, unto itself (i.e., of its own self-determination or identity). Of the question of its "scienticity", as such, or its belonging to the mathematical field of science: on this issue I must calmly witness that all of experience is scientific, except for its ethical dimension, modality, or state. Any adumbration of this ethical world's face, I, however, will herein forgo---please forgive this absence and do not punish what is present herein as such.
