Tales from Both Sides of the Brain pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Michael S. Gazzaniga, one of the most important neuroscientists of the twentieth century, gives us an exciting behind-the-scenes look at his seminal work on that unlikely couple, the right and left brain. Foreword by Steven Pinker.
In the mid-twentieth century, Michael S. Gazzaniga, “the father of cognitive neuroscience,” was part of a team of pioneering neuroscientists who developed the now foundational split-brain brain theory: the notion that the right and left hemispheres of the brain can act independently from one another and have different strengths.
In Tales from Both Sides of the Brain, Gazzaniga tells the impassioned story of his life in science and his decades-long journey to understand how the separate spheres of our brains communicate and miscommunicate with their separate agendas. By turns humorous and moving, Tales from Both Sides of the Brain interweaves Gazzaniga’s scientific achievements with his reflections on the challenges and thrills of working as a scientist. In his engaging and accessible style, he paints a vivid portrait not only of his discovery of split-brain theory, but also of his comrades in arms—the many patients, friends, and family who have accompanied him on this wild ride of intellectual discovery.
Michael S. Gazzaniga is the director of the SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and the National Academy of Sciences. He has written many popular science books, including Who's In Charge? (Ecco, 2011), Human (Ecco, 2008), Nature's Mind (Basic, 1992), and Mind Matters (Houghton Mifflin, 1988). Gazzaniga lives in California with his wife and six children.
Neuro 大牛養成記。比想象中有趣。

評分很不錯的自傳,也可以用作工具書。

我的很多朋友在我推荐这本书之后,都被“认知神经科学之父”的名头吓住,问我这书到底是讲什么的,是不是很深奥很难懂。每次我都会回答:“其实这是一本讲……八卦的书,讲了很多很多牛人的八卦,特别好看。”然而朋友们依然表示不信,所以,我决定在此列举一二。 罗杰•斯...
評分看完最大的感慨就是:这人太能折腾了!几乎每章都是以换单位和搬家作为结尾。交游广阔,善于搞活动,喜欢把各种高智商的大牛拉到一起,这或许就是人家能建立一个新的交叉学科的原因吧。相比之下,中国的科学家们大都缺乏这种社交才能。
評分大学那会儿热爱心理学的我满心想要为心理学的发展出一份力,总觉得自己适合走科研路线,读研究生读博士然后在象牙塔里做学术研究,不食人间烟火。 当时怕是对科研有什么误解,现在说白了其实是认为这是除了找工作、公务员以外的清新脱俗的选择,为自己的缺乏勇气害怕竞争找了一...
評分本来与当年看费曼自传一个想法去的,但发现不少实验想法很值得借鉴,加州理工的氛围看来真是有传奇色彩。还在看,作者对人的性格分析也是个亮点。
