Makes me think of an article about a brain-research conference I read 
some months ago. One of the neural-scientists who knew his Proust well 
said that most of the supposedly new recognitions of brain-research can 
be found in /À la recherche du temps perdu/. He also reformulated some 
of Proust's passages in scientific terms. Great art contains 
proto-scientific truths.
