Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran is internationally renowned for uncovering answers to the deep and quirky questions of human nature that few scientists have dared to address. His bold insights about the brain are matched only by the stunning simplicity of his experiments -- using such low-tech tools as cotton swabs, glasses of water and dime-store mirrors. In Phantoms in the Brain, Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on the deep architecture of the brain, and what these findings tell us about who we are, how we construct our body image, why we laugh or become depressed, why we may believe in God, how we make decisions, deceive ourselves and dream, perhaps even why we're so clever at philosophy, music and art. Some of his most notable cases: A woman paralyzed on the left side of her body who believes she is lifting a tray of drinks with both hands offers a unique opportunity to test Freud's theory of denial. A man who insists he is talking with God challenges us to ask: Could we be "wired" for religious experience? A woman who hallucinates cartoon characters illustrates how, in a sense, we are all hallucinating, all the time. Dr. Ramachandran's inspired medical detective work pushes the boundaries of medicine's last great frontier -- the human mind -- yielding new and provocative insights into the "big questions" about consciousness and the self.

《看完我们为什么会生病》之后，心中开始对于第一推动系列从书疯狂的长草。不过好几十本的数量，加上所需花费的人民币金额即便是在“618”期间，也不敢随随便便的一口气下单全部搬回家。日子得精打细算的过，书得一本本慢慢的看。既然看这一系列的书是从生命科学开始的，那么就...
評分 評分《脑中魅影》这本书的书名听起来感觉像是一本浪漫的文学作品，其实这是一本科普读物。它的作者是拉马钱德兰博士，作者在美国加利福尼亚大学圣迭戈分校脑和认知研究中心教授兼主任，同时也是拉霍亚索尔克生物学研究所副教授。本书的另一位作者布莱克斯利是《纽约时报》的获奖科...

评分Ramachandran的書直接買直接看就行瞭。為什麼這麼說？看一下該人的wikipedia頁麵上的介紹。
评分#當你真正喜歡。
评分近代神經傢的見解都傾嚮於認為“自我”隻是一種錯覺。威廉詹姆斯說過：“幻覺研究是領悟正常感覺的門徑，錯覺研究是正確瞭解知覺的鑰匙。病態的衝動和強迫的概念有助於揭示正常意誌的心理學，而強迫意念和妄想同樣有助於揭示正常信仰能力的心理學。” 通過探索反常的案例來拓展補完我們對一個領域的理解，敢於推翻墨守成規的理論/觀念，大膽假設，擁抱paradigm shift，光憑這點就可以膜拜一下作者瞭，當之無愧的“神經科學界的馬可波羅”。順說他是印度人：）【補充：最後一章有他對Qualia問題的理解，需要反復看。 】
