全面更新的《神经科学研究与进展·认知、脑与意识:认知神经科学导论(全彩色版)(原著第2版)(导读版)》由认知神经科学领域的权威学者Bernard J.Baars和Nicole M.Gage担纲主编,以独特的方式介绍了该领域的知识与进展。基础教育领域的诸多专业要求学生对认知神经科学具备基本的理解。然而,目前的教科书大多为生物学专业的学生准备,较少考虑心理学和其他相关专业的读者。本书以独特的主题式写作手法阐述了认知神经科学的基本概念,章节设置循序渐进,使读者无需神经科学或生物学背景也可以轻松理解。作者以简单漂亮的绘图作品构建大脑,令人印象深刻。每章附有思考题和绘图练习,帮助加深理解。
The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World
Douban Goodreads
David Eagleman / Anthony Brandt publishing house: Catapult 2017 - 10 other title: The Runaway Species
This enlightening examination of creativity looks “at art and science together to examine how innovations . . . build on what already exists and rely on three brain bending, breaking and blending” ( The Wall Street Journal ) The Runaway Species is a deep dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how we can improve our future by understanding and embracing our ability to innovate. David Eagleman and Anthony Brandt seek to answer the what lies at the heart of humanity’s ability—and drive—to create? Our ability to remake our world is unique among all living things. But where does our creativity come from, how does it work, and how can we harness it to improve our lives, schools, businesses, and institutions? Eagleman and Brandt examine hundreds of examples of human creativity through dramatic storytelling and stunning images in this beautiful, full–color volume. By drawing out what creative acts have in common and viewing them through the lens of cutting–edge neuroscience, they uncover the essential elements of this critical human ability, and encourage a more creative future for all of us. “ The Runaway Species approach[es] creativity scientifically but sensitively, feeling its roots without pulling them out.” — The Economist

[内容简介] 除宇宙外,大脑是目前人类的头号未解之谜,宛若科学领域闪耀的王冠,而王冠上璀璨的明珠,要属人的意识,它令人着迷又深不可测。意识吸引了全世界科学领域的巨擘的目光,而脑科学家斯坦尼斯拉斯·迪昂从这些人里脱颖而出,他让意识探索从空想走向实践。如诺贝尔生理学或医学奖获得者埃里克· 坎德尔所说,迪昂开创的一系列意识实验,彻底改变了脑科学领域。 在《脑与意识》中,迪昂集结了意识与思维近20年来的前沿研究成果,用丰富、富有创新性的实验,将深奥难懂的脑科学知识,以大众看得懂的方式娓娓道来,发现了人类主观意识的客观标志,原来意识是“可见的”,掀起了脑科学的新篇章。 从我们感觉不到无意识讲到人人可察觉的主观思想,从意识的功能讲到意识的测量方法,从与植物人沟通讲到创造有意识的AI。本书对意识与思维背后的脑活动进行了重新定义、检验和阐释,探讨了意识在临床医疗和未来科技方面的潜在用途和进展,为读者打开了新思路。迪昂与同事提出的突破性理论“全脑神经工作空间”书中也进行了详细解释。 让我们跟随迪昂一同踏上旅程,探索人类思想、情感与意志背后那复杂而令人兴奋的真相。 [编辑推荐] ●电子化、智能化将是人类未来的生活基础和主流,这意味着脑科学,尤其是意识问题,将成为人类研究的核心。本书的新探索、新方法、新范式、新观点无疑会为将来脑科学发展开辟新疆土。 ●斯坦尼斯拉斯·迪昂的研究跨越神经科学、教育学、心理学、生物学,作为全世界极具影响力的认知神经科学家、欧洲神经科学领军人、“神经科学领域的诺贝尔奖”大脑奖得主,迪昂已超其导师、认知神经科学的创始人之一迈克尔·波斯纳,确立了自己在脑科学领域的大神级地位。 ●这本书适合所有奋战在一线的医疗技术人员、医生和人工智能技术专家,它可以帮助医疗人士对病人的意识情况做出诊断,让人工智能专家找到如何让AI拥有人类思维这一问题的答案。本书也适合任何与脑科学直接或间接相关的学科专业人士。对神经科学、实验心理学、教育学初学者来说,它是了解大脑很好的入门书籍,为读者提供了清晰可操作的意识实验范式,对这些学科的专家而言,本书呈现了一幅完整的现代意识研究拼图。对于乐于探索前沿知识的读者,他们可以从这些设计新奇、令人拍案叫绝的实验中锻炼科学思维与逻辑推理。 ●诺贝尔生理学或医学奖得主埃里克·坎德尔、世界领军神经科学家克里斯·弗里思、加州理工学院的生物学和工程学教授克里斯托弗·科赫、《华盛顿邮报》等盛赞。中科院院士、核物理学家、浙江大学教授唐孝威倾情作序,北京大学校务委员会委员周晓林、复旦大学生命科学学院退休教授顾凡及、浙江大学哲学系教授李恒威、果壳网CEO姬十三、苇草智酷创始合伙人段永朝盛赞推荐! ●湛庐文化出品
The Brain That Changes Itself
Douban
Norman Doidge publishing house: Penguin Books 2007
An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, M.D., traveled the country to meet both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they’ve transformed - people whose mental limitations or brain damage were seen as unalterable. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, blind people who learn to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, stroke patients learning to speak, children with cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace, depression and anxiety disorders successfully treated, and lifelong character traits changed. Using these marvelous stories to probe mysteries of the body, emotion, love, sex, culture, and education, Dr. Doidge has written an immensely moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential.
