A groundbreaking investigation of the brain’s hidden logic behind our strangest behaviors, and of how conscious and unconscious systems interact in order to create our experience and preserve our sense of self.
From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strange thoughts and behaviors. When observed from the outside, these phenomena are often written off as being just “crazy,” but what if they were actually planned and logical?
NeuroLogic explores the brain’s internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths to conscious decision making, and illuminates how it explains our most outlandish as well as our most stereotyped behaviors. From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fans to false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, Dr. Eliezer Sternberg shows that there are patterns to the way the brain interprets the world—–patterns that fit the brain’s unique logic. Unraveling these patterns and the various ways they can be disturbed will not only alter our view of mental illness and supernatural experience, but will also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves.
ELIEZER J. STERNBERG, M.D., is a resident neurologist at Yale–New Haven Hospital. With a background in neuroscience and philosophy, he studies how brain research can shed light on the mysteries of conscious-ness and decision making. He is the author of Are You a Machine? and My Brain Made Me Do It.
读到今天已近尾声了,还差两章结束。 遇到我喜欢的书,拖延的习惯又泛滥。以为只要不读到最后一页,就可永远在读它,不用说再见。 其实这书每章都可以拍成独立的一集剧或小电影,像黑镜一样的风格。只不过黑镜大部分成立于现实之外,而这本书里的内容,全都是真是世界上,也许...
评分 评分我们实际上很难在正常人和精神病患者之间划出一条清晰的线(见《你应该了解的40项心理学研究》中罗森汉的研究)。正如无法在男人和女人之间画出一条清晰的线一样(我知道你对这句话有疑问,且看下文)。 任何人都知道黑与白之间没有绝对的界限,总是有灰色地带存在一样。然而,...
评分 评分~~~~~只有认真读过了,才会知道这是一本好书。我是认真的读了一遍。每个问题,层层递进,抽丝剥茧,讲透说清。翻译也不错,能够准确表达原作者的意思。那些个打三星及以下的,不知道怎么想的。书评要140字,本来懒得写,但是看不过分打得低,就随便写几句吧。书是自己读的...
读起来挺有趣~总结了作者觉得正确的neuroscience研究方向(intertwined conscious & unconscious)中的各个案例及它们涉及到的著名实验。还蛮convincing的。
评分悬疑般充满张力的科普书,到Evelyn的病例时达到阅读趣味的峰值。力推。
