人类大脑本应如此精妙绝伦、进化高度发达，却又如此混乱、易错且缺乏条理。在《傻傻的大脑》一书中，神经科学家迪恩·伯内特以独特的视角赞颂了人类大脑的种种缺陷，以及这些“怪癖”对我们日常生活的影响。本书研究精深，文笔生动有趣，适合所有曾疑惑大脑为何总是“破坏”自己生活、以及它究竟在做什么的人阅读。 For something supposedly so brilliant and evolutionarily advanced, the human brain is pretty messy, fallible and disorganised. In The Idiot Brain neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates the imperfections of the human brain in all thei...(展开全部)

This is a fascinating, and practical exploration into why the things that make our brains "happy" are not always what we really need. Why do we routinely choose options that don't meet our short term needs and undermine our long-term goals? Why do we insist we're right even when evidence contradicts us? Why are we prone to assigning meaning to statistically common coincidences?...(展开全部)

A look at the extraordinary ways the brain turns thoughts into actions--and how this shapes our everyday lives From making a cup of coffee to buying a house to changing the world around them, humans are uniquely able to execute necessary actions. How do we do it? Or in other words, how do our brains get things done? In On Task, cognitive neuroscientist David Badre presents the ...(展开全部)

Leading neuroscientist Gordon M. Shepherd embarks on a paradigm-shifting trip through the "human brain flavor system," laying the foundations for a new scientific field: neurogastronomy. Challenging the belief that the sense of smell diminished during human evolution, Shepherd argues that this sense, which constitutes the main component of flavor, is far more powerful and essen...(展开全部)

It has been remarked that if the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. Commencing with a brief history of neuroscience, from the ancient practice of drilling holes in the head to relieve headaches to the latest results from MRI and CT scans, this accessible guide sets out to explore exactly what we do know about the brain. Including the...(展开全部)
