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.

读后感
我一向都对心理学非常感兴趣，看过许多涉及到心理学的电影，书籍，也略读过几本心理学方面的著作，比如弗洛伊德的《梦的解析》之类的，但最终还是对这些鸿篇巨制望而兴叹，止步于此了。 再次对它燃起兴趣是因为《天才在左疯子在右》一书，我对里面提及到的精神病人颇感兴趣，这...
评分《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...

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
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”
