Emanuel Swedenborg was a renowned metallurgist and mystic in the mid eighteenth-century. Among his many scientific accomplishments, Swedenborg displayed an astonishingly modern understanding of brain functioning.
Two hundred years before the neurosciences became a scientific discipline, Swedenborg correctly described sensation, movement, and cognition as functions of the cerebral cortex, the function of the corpus callosum, the motor cortex, the neural pathways of each sense organ to the cortex, the functions of the frontal lobe and the corpus striatum, circulation of the cerebral fluid, and interactions of the pituitary gland between the brain and blood.
On the afternoon of June 19, 1759, he arrived in Goteborg, Sweden. At a dinner party 
that evening, he suddenly announced to his friends that he was having a vision of Stockholm burning, about 300 miles away. Later that evening he told them that the fire stopped three doors from his home.
The next day, the mayor of Goteborg, who heard about Swedenbog’s surprising pronouncement, discussed it with him. The following day, a message from Stockholm arrived and confirmed that Swedenborg’s vison was correct.
