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.
具体描述
读后感
《脑中魅影》这本书的书名听起来感觉像是一本浪漫的文学作品，其实这是一本科普读物。它的作者是拉马钱德兰博士，作者在美国加利福尼亚大学圣迭戈分校脑和认知研究中心教授兼主任，同时也是拉霍亚索尔克生物学研究所副教授。本书的另一位作者布莱克斯利是《纽约时报》的获奖科...
评分 评分《看完我们为什么会生病》之后，心中开始对于第一推动系列从书疯狂的长草。不过好几十本的数量，加上所需花费的人民币金额即便是在“618”期间，也不敢随随便便的一口气下单全部搬回家。日子得精打细算的过，书得一本本慢慢的看。既然看这一系列的书是从生命科学开始的，那么就...
评分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。...
用户评价
近代神经家的见解都倾向于认为“自我”只是一种错觉。威廉詹姆斯说过：“幻觉研究是领悟正常感觉的门径，错觉研究是正确了解知觉的钥匙。病态的冲动和强迫的概念有助于揭示正常意志的心理学，而强迫意念和妄想同样有助于揭示正常信仰能力的心理学。” 通过探索反常的案例来拓展补完我们对一个领域的理解，敢于推翻墨守成规的理论/观念，大胆假设，拥抱paradigm shift，光凭这点就可以膜拜一下作者了，当之无愧的“神经科学界的马可波罗”。顺说他是印度人：）【补充：最后一章有他对Qualia问题的理解，需要反复看。 】
评分Interesting Read, see myself through the lens of neuroscience is eye-opening. Ramachandran proposed many creative, ingenious, SPECULATIVE ideas on "us".
评分放不下手的书，好看！
评分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”
