Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran is internationally renowned for uncovering answers to the deep and quirky questions of human nature that few scientists have dared to address. His bold insights about the brain are matched only by the stunning simplicity of his experiments -- using such low-tech tools as cotton swabs, glasses of water and dime-store mirrors. In Phantoms in the Brain, Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on the deep architecture of the brain, and what these findings tell us about who we are, how we construct our body image, why we laugh or become depressed, why we may believe in God, how we make decisions, deceive ourselves and dream, perhaps even why we're so clever at philosophy, music and art. Some of his most notable cases: A woman paralyzed on the left side of her body who believes she is lifting a tray of drinks with both hands offers a unique opportunity to test Freud's theory of denial. A man who insists he is talking with God challenges us to ask: Could we be "wired" for religious experience? A woman who hallucinates cartoon characters illustrates how, in a sense, we are all hallucinating, all the time. Dr. Ramachandran's inspired medical detective work pushes the boundaries of medicine's last great frontier -- the human mind -- yielding new and provocative insights into the "big questions" about consciousness and the self.

坦率的讲,这是一部在我看来多少有些晦涩难懂的书,曾经多次拿起又多次放下,促使我读下去的,其实是书中所提到的那一个个真实存在的案例。 《脑中魅影》是湖南科学技术出版社出版的第一推动丛书中的其中一本,其作者拉马钱德兰博士曾被誉为i世界上最有影响力的人物之一,其在...

这是一本能发现和认识自己及他人的一本书,作者从脑神经学的角度讲述了各种各样的医学案例,让我对“神经病”或是“疯子”这样的社会标签有了相对具体的认知。如果将书中所描述的病症放在身边人的身上,通常那个人会被冠以各种标签;但是作者用科学的解释帮助我正视这些病症。...

拉马钱德兰所做的实验是很简单的,可让人不由得让人惊叹他的发现之敏锐,实验之精妙。他就像福尔摩斯探案一样,通过不为人所注意的细节,再加上强大的逻辑推理,令真相大白。从中我们可以体会到作者对科学的热情和强烈的好奇心。 从好的科普书中学到不仅仅是知识,启迪和智慧更...

(3258字)大脑是一个神奇又神秘的中枢,人类对大脑的探索也非常缓慢。最近一次体检,亲人检查出小脑萎缩症,医生说此病目前还没有特效方法,只能靠平时的小心维护。这真是让人悲哀的事,亲人以前做过开颅手术,身体状况一直也不怎么好,平时营养没跟上,再加上又三班倒,休息...

信息量太大读着读着就会忘掉前面讲了什么…:( 特别喜欢作者最后一章的总结性的文字…之前把大脑想象得太简单了,以为视觉认知就是一个通道走到底呀…读完才知道我们习以为常的“看得见”是多么奇妙而幸运的一件事。可能我们并不比那些“insane”的病人们优越多少,只不过他们的病症是我们正常人机制的放大…如果我是那些病人我也会很喜欢像作者一样的医生吧,别把所有看似insane看似ridiculous的事当作例外就一笑了之了,缺乏的是真正地去探索/实验/理解。#读万卷书行万里路

这大概是我读的最久的一本了,断断续续读了大半年。期间Ramachandran另一本《The Tell-Tale Brain》都读完了。。不过,Ramachandran的这本书确实是他最经典的一本,难怪Richard Dawkins称Rama为“神经科学界的马可波罗”
