Description :
The authors have compiled a
fascinating ?collection of
probes into the moment-by-moment
works of the brain?. From
getting to know the structure of
your brain to learning how we
see, hear and recall events,
Mind Hacks allows you to test
the theories of neuroscience on
your own grey matter. If you?ve
always wanted to get closer to
your cerebellum but never
plucked up the courage to take
that DIY neurosurgery course,
this is the book for you.? ? PD
Smith, The Guardian
The brain is a
fearsomely complex
information-processing
environment--one that often
eludes our ability to
understand it. At any given
time, the brain is
collecting, filtering, and
analyzing information and,
in response, performing
countless intricate
processes, some of which are
automatic, some voluntary,
some conscious, and some
unconscious.
Cognitive neuroscience
is one of the ways we have
to understand the workings
of our minds. It's the study
of the brain biology behind
our mental functions: a
collection of methods--like
brain scanning and
computational
modeling--combined with a
way of looking at
psychological phenomena and
discovering where, why, and
how the brain makes them
happen.
Want to know more?
Mind Hacks is a
collection of probes into
the moment-by-moment works
of the brain. Using
cognitive neuroscience,
these experiments, tricks,
and tips related to vision,
motor skills, attention,
cognition, subliminal
perception, and more throw
light on how the human brain
works. Each hack examines
specific operations of the
brain. By seeing how the
brain responds, we pick up
clues about the architecture
and design of the brain,
learning a little bit more
about how the brain is put
together.
Mind Hacks begins
your exploration of the mind
with a look inside the brain
itself, using hacks such as
"Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation: Turn On and Off
Bits of the Brain" and "Tour
the Cortex and the Four
Lobes." Also among the 100
hacks in this book, you'll
find:
-
Release Eye
Fixations for Faster
Reactions
-
See Movement When
All is Still
-
Feel the Presence
and Loss of Attention
-
Detect Sounds on the
Margins of Certainty
-
Mold Your Body
Schema
-
Test Your Handedness
-
See a Person in
Moving Lights
-
Make Events
Understandable as
Cause-and-Effect
-
Boost Memory by
Using Context
-
Understand Detail
and the Limits of
Attention
Steven Johnson, author
of "Mind Wide Open" writes
in his foreword to the book,
"These hacks amaze because
they reveal the brain's
hidden logic; they shed
light on the cheats and
shortcuts and latent
assumptions our brains make
about the world." If you
want to know more about
what's going on in your
head, then Mind Hacks
is the key--let yourself
play with the interface
between you and the world.
