Michael S. Gazzaniga, one of the premiere doctors of neuroscience, was born on December 12, 1939 in Los Angeles. Educated at Dartmouth College and California Institute of Technology, he is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he heads the new SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind.
His early research examined the subject of epileptics who had undergone surgery to control seizures. He has also studied Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients and reveals important findings in books such as Cognitive Neuroscience: The Biology of the Mind.
While many of his writings are technical, he also educates and stimulates readers with discussions about the fascinating and mysterious workings of the brain. Books such as The Social Brain and The Mind's Past bring forth new information and theories regarding how the brain functions, interacts, and responds with the body and the environment.
“Big questions are Gazzaniga’s stock in trade.”
—New York Times
“Gazzaniga is one of the most brilliant experimental neuroscientists in the world.”
—Tom Wolfe
“Gazzaniga stands as a giant among neuroscientists, for both the quality of his research and his ability to communicate it to a general public with infectious enthusiasm.”
—Robert Bazell, Chief Science Correspondent, NBC News
The author of Human, Michael S. Gazzaniga has been called the “father of cognitive neuroscience.” In his remarkable book, Who’s in Charge?, he makes a powerful and provocative argument that counters the common wisdom that our lives are wholly determined by physical processes we cannot control. His well-reasoned case against the idea that we live in a “determined” world is fascinating and liberating, solidifying his place among the likes of Oliver Sacks, Antonio Damasio, V.S. Ramachandran, and other bestselling science authors exploring the mysteries of the human brain.
1、大脑功能是区域化的,但是并不代表意识是某一个特定区域产生的。 2、大脑的塑造过程中,进化造成的区域功能和后天学习得来的功能同样重要。可以说人脑由遗传特性和社会环境共同塑造的(默默点头)。 3、在左脑(也就是控制有半侧躯干活动的脑)中存在一个被作者定义为解释器...
评分1大脑内置着成千上万的预设偏好,无需后天经验(如对风吹草动恐惧的无意识反应)。学习只是在先天能力中做选择。大脑观:整体遗传,局部层面连接活性依赖,外部经验。 2左右半脑分工。大脑并没有统一的指挥官,在有意识知觉的水平面下,是极为繁忙的无意识大脑(许多局部意识系...
评分 评分 评分感觉意犹未尽啊,之前看了本极简宇宙史,量子力学的讲述让我迷迷糊糊,当时就在思考,我们身而为人,微观层面是由粒子构成,我们怎么就有了意识了呢?真是神奇。 很巧就碰到这本书,期待能弄明白意识从哪里而来,结果感觉没看够。 现实生活中,在地上滚动的皮球遵循牛顿的物理...
膜拜gazzaniga大牛
评分真的令人找到一个新的理解自己的途径,关于distribured modules 和 interpreter真的很有趣啊。 人类不过是自我欺骗啊,而且是最高等级的自欺欺人,因为这个过程自己也完全没有概念不是么。 我们的一切解释都不过是取决于曾经的Input,我们跟AI有什么不同。 再说另一个概念上来说,我不过是我过去经验的奴隶了。
评分觉得没有期待中的好,没有给我思考的那几个问题有太多的启发。又或者我应该再读一遍~
评分人、脑、意识、自由意志的经典讨论套路,最后落到法律问题,也算是强行进行了应用。也许脑没那么自由,但人与人的联结与群体形成带来了真正的自由。
评分还可以
