Your brain is a relentless shapeshifter, constantly rewriting its own circuitry – and because your experiences are unique, so are the vast, detailed patterns in your neural networks.Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the mysterious heart of our existence. When we review our life memories, we should do so with the awareness that not all the details are accurate. Because they continue to change your whole life, your identity is a moving target; it never reaches an endpoint. Eagleman concludes with a fascinating exploration of the way in which we might use technology to enhance our bodies and lengthen our lives. This inclination to assign intention to non-human characters was highlighted in a short film made in 1944 by Austrian psychologist Fritz Heider and his American colleague Marianne Simmel.

Now could you imagine capturing the map of your brain, transferring it to other body or even a computer. Indeed, it must undergo more development after birth than does the brain of nearly any other species. I have left out the various real-world examples Eagleman uses to bolster his arguments, for fear of bloating it up. The good news is that it happens to be broadcasting the most interesting show you could ask for: edited, personalized, and presented just for you. If you could perceive reality as it is, you would be shocked by its colorless, odorless, tasteless silence.

Having read Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives by the author (a quirky look at possible after-death scenarios - nothing to do with science! A straightforward book discussing knowledge and theories in regards to the brain, both its biological structure and social development, and more importantly how that all creates the people that we are- or will become (since cognitive development is an ever changing process). One hypothesis suggests that the lack of feedback from their facial muscles impaired their ability to read other people.

He teaches neuroscience at Stanford University and is CEO and co-founder of Neosensory, a company that develops devices for sensory substitution. Neuroscientist Eagleman (The Brain) delivers an intellectually exhilarating look at neuroplasticity. As Harris explains: “If you don’t properly diagnose people as human beings, then the moral rules that are reserved for human people may not apply.The behind-the-scenes narrative of what happens during a daily activity like lifting a cup of coffee and taking a sip was just mind-blowing. If you could perceive reality as it really is, you would be shocked by its colorless, odorless, tasteless silence. This means that I care not only about myself but also about others with whom I share genetic material. Kitabı çox bəyəndim❤yazar beynimizlə bağlı bir çox maraqlı məqama toxunaraq, başqa problemlər üçün də həll yollarını göstərmiş, yaxud bu yolda gedən prosesləri izah etmişdir. At any rate, if you know anyone who doesn't have much familiarity with the latest neuroscience, I can't think of a much better intro than this one.
