Locked in the silence and darkness of your skull, your brain fashions the rich narratives of your reality and your identity. Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the mysterious heart of our existence. What is reality? Who are “you”? How do you make decisions? Why does your brain need other people? How is technology poised to change what it means to be human? In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality. Strap in for a whistle-stop tour into the inner cosmos. In the infinitely dense tangle of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections, something emerges that you might not have expected to see in there: you.
This is the story of how your life shapes your brain, and how your brain shapes your life.
(A companion to the six-part PBS series. Color illustrations throughout.)

031|123,《大脑的故事》。 笔者用简明扼要的文字为我们描绘了宇宙中最复杂的物质存在——大脑。很多时候,我们对我们的词汇定义依然是模糊的,尤其这个学科还是处于浅层的时候。譬如理性思考、“心流”、“意识”等。 脑科学计划是这几年最重要、最热门的重大项目,提出了很多...
評分 評分这本书主要分为六大部分——脑部发育、感知、意识、决策、社交以及未来人类的方向,当以神经科学的视角来看待哲学问题,“旧题出新解”,更能突破我们的思维局势,增进理解。 作者或是出于引导的目的,每一个章节的大标题都是强劲有力的问句——我是谁?我们如何感知世界?谁说...

评分值得一讀
评分1.竹子的推薦,做做傢務很快聽完。這書還不錯,但太簡單瞭,得剋製自己不要再看這種淺淺的科普。如果不太瞭解腦神經運作的基本知識的,是可以一讀,蠻有趣也會很尊敬自己的腦袋(腦袋你好辛苦)。人的腦細胞數量是在嬰兒期達到高峰,而後grow the interaction and network(突觸之類),但總的數量會減少,所以我們的成長過程是在做減法,拋棄特定環境下用不著的,加強需要用到的細胞(譬如不同語言需要的發音不同)。 2.Kenneth Parks’ homicide 是經典案例瞭吧?因為睡眠問題(腦部神經問題)殺人,最後被判無罪,在Why We Sleep裏麵也聽到瞭,不過是作為不同目的的例子論證。 3.莊周夢蝶也是經典案例瞭。這裏麵對比笛卡爾的觀點,brain in a vat?
评分2017年,把年度最佳頒給它瞭。一直覺得這世界有兩個領域非常吸引我,一個是太空,另一個是人體(主要是人腦),恰恰這本書就從科學的角度講述瞭人腦。真是為我推開瞭一扇世界的大門啊。
