书籍简介
停药和心碎有什么共同之处?为什么记忆的敌人不是时间，而是其他的记忆?盲人如何用舌头学会看东西，聋人如何用皮肤学会听东西?为什么20世纪80年代的许多人会错误地认为书页的颜色有点红呢?为什么世界上*好的弓箭手是没有手臂的?也许有一天，我们能用思想来控制机器人，就像我们控制手指和脚趾一样?为什么我们会在晚上做梦，这和行星的旋转有什么关系?
这些问题的答案就在我们眼前。我们在这个星球上所发现的伟大的技术，就是藏在头骨里的三磅重的器官。这本书不仅仅是关于大脑是什么，而是关于它能做什么。
What does drug withdrawal have in common with a broken heart? Why is the enemy of memory not time, but other memories? How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? Why did many people in the 1980s mistakenly perceive book pages to be slightly red in colour? Why is the world "s b est archer armless? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts, just as we do our fingers and toes? Why do we dream at night, and what does that have to do with the rotation of the planet?
The answer to these questions is right behind our eyes. The greatest technology we have ever discovered on this planet is the three-pound organ carried around in the vault of the skull. Thi s b ook is not simply about what the brain i s, b ut what it does.
The magic of the brain is not found in the parts it"s made of, but in the way those parts unceasingly re-weave themselves in an electric, living fabric. Surf the leading edge of neuroscience atop the anecdotes and metaphors that have made Eagleman one of the best scientific translators of our generation. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired also presents new discoveries from Eagleman"s own laboratory, from synaesthesia to dreaming to wearable neurotech devices that revolutionize how we think about the senses.
