内容简介

Your brain is a collection of maps: detailed representations, scrawled across your brain’s surfaces, of the sights, sounds, and actions that hold the key to your survival. Although scientists began discovering these maps over a century ago, we are only now beginning to unlock their secrets—and comprehend their profound impact on our lives. Brain maps distort and shape our experience of the world, support complex thought, and make technology-enabled mind reading a modern-day reality. They shine a light on our past and our possible futures. In the process, they invite us to view ourselves from a startling new perspective.

In Brainscapes, Rebecca Schwarzlose combines unforgettable real-life stories, cutting-edge research, and vivid illustrations to reveal brain maps’ surprising lessons about our place in the world—and about the world’s place within us.

    在看一个实验室网站的时候无意间发现的一本书,写得好好,从最基本的brain maps讲起,一步一步深入到认知、情感,娓娓道来的感觉。很多神经科学的读物试图刻画出大脑的生物复杂性而忽略环境的塑形力,但这一本则(如实)阐述环境和基因如何共同作用于我们的身体,让每个人既相似又不同。04-17
