Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran is internationally renowned for uncovering answers to the deep and quirky questions of human nature that few scientists have dared to address. His bold insights about the brain are matched only by the stunning simplicity of his experiments -- using such low-tech tools as cotton swabs, glasses of water and dime-store mirrors. In Phantoms in the Brain, Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on the deep architecture of the brain, and what these findings tell us about who we are, how we construct our body image, why we laugh or become depressed, why we may believe in God, how we make decisions, deceive ourselves and dream, perhaps even why we're so clever at philosophy, music and art. Some of his most notable cases: A woman paralyzed on the left side of her body who believes she is lifting a tray of drinks with both hands offers a unique opportunity to test Freud's theory of denial. A man who insists he is talking with God challenges us to ask: Could we be "wired" for religious experience? A woman who hallucinates cartoon characters illustrates how, in a sense, we are all hallucinating, all the time. Dr. Ramachandran's inspired medical detective work pushes the boundaries of medicine's last great frontier -- the human mind -- yielding new and provocative insights into the "big questions" about consciousness and the self.

拉瑪醫師:科學(包括宇宙學、演化論,尤其是腦科學)告訴我們,我們在宇宙中沒有特權的地位,而我們有獨立的靈魂『注視世界』的想法亦是一種妄想。這些想法符閤東方神秘的傳統,如印度教或禪宗。一旦你瞭解自己不再是旁觀者,卻是宇宙事件永恆浪潮的一部份時,你會得到解放。這種想法也會讓你培養一種謙虛之心,這是所有真正宗教經驗的真諦。 我個人感覺有點意義療法的意味,又感覺似乎有一種“我控製我的大腦,還是我的大腦控製我”的感覺。暫時還沒有看全書,隻是瀏覽瞭賴其萬教授關於這本書的解讀,http://goo.gl/DN4CC.
評分近代神經傢的見解都傾嚮於認為“自我”隻是一種錯覺。威廉詹姆斯說過:“幻覺研究是領悟正常感覺的門徑,錯覺研究是正確瞭解知覺的鑰匙。病態的衝動和強迫的概念有助於揭示正常意誌的心理學,而強迫意念和妄想同樣有助於揭示正常信仰能力的心理學。” 通過探索反常的案例來拓展補完我們對一個領域的理解,敢於推翻墨守成規的理論/觀念,大膽假設,擁抱paradigm shift,光憑這點就可以膜拜一下作者瞭,當之無愧的“神經科學界的馬可波羅”。順說他是印度人:)【補充:最後一章有他對Qualia問題的理解,需要反復看。 】
