Locked in the silence and darkness of your skull, your brain fashions the rich narratives of your reality and your identity. Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the mysterious heart of our existence. What is reality? Who are “you”? How do you make decisions? Why does your brain need other people? How is technology poised to change what it means to be human? In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality. Strap in for a whistle-stop tour into the inner cosmos. In the infinitely dense tangle of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections, something emerges that you might not have expected to see in there: you.
This is the story of how your life shapes your brain, and how your brain shapes your life.
(A companion to the six-part PBS series. Color illustrations throughout.)

He has authored over 90 scientific publications and holds several patents. He has also written two international bestsellers, the novel Sum and the non-fiction book Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain. He is the writer and presenter of the companion PBS television series The Brain.
此书作为科普读物,基本的template是从故事/日常生活入手,再以大脑机制进行浅层的解析。这本书能够达到吸引读者兴趣的目的,可是能否引起思考却是另一回事。或因抛开专业知识背景来阐释一个行为背后的大脑机制是很难实现的,这也是由大脑本身的复杂性所造成的。我从这本书第一次了解到一些有趣的行为,譬如time perception,研究consciousness的paradigm等,这些未知的领域对于neuroscientists而言,应该是非常inspiring的。
评分失望
评分1.竹子的推荐,做做家务很快听完。这书还不错,但太简单了,得克制自己不要再看这种浅浅的科普。如果不太了解脑神经运作的基本知识的,是可以一读,蛮有趣也会很尊敬自己的脑袋(脑袋你好辛苦)。人的脑细胞数量是在婴儿期达到高峰,而后grow the interaction and network(突触之类),但总的数量会减少,所以我们的成长过程是在做减法,抛弃特定环境下用不着的,加强需要用到的细胞(譬如不同语言需要的发音不同)。 2.Kenneth Parks’ homicide 是经典案例了吧?因为睡眠问题(脑部神经问题)杀人,最后被判无罪,在Why We Sleep里面也听到了,不过是作为不同目的的例子论证。 3.庄周梦蝶也是经典案例了。这里面对比笛卡尔的观点,brain in a vat?
评分可以当选改变一生的n本书之一。hhhh

评分世界读书日这天,我选了大卫.伊格曼的的两本书《大脑的故事》和《死亡的故事》。死亡的话题太过沉重,我先看了《大脑的故事》。我们如何感知世界,我们怎样做决定?科技的发展,人类能否创造出新智能?人类正朝着什么方向前进?书中通过大量的实验及研究数据深入浅出地做了阐述...
