Consciousness is our gateway to experience: it enables us to recognize Van Gogh's starry skies, be enraptured by Beethoven's Fifth, and stand in awe of a snowcapped mountain. Yet consciousness is subjective, personal, and famously difficult to examine: philosophers have for centuries declared this mental entity so mysterious as to be impenetrable to science. In The Ravenous Brain, neuroscientist Daniel Bor departs sharply from this historical view, and builds on the latest research to propose a new model for how consciousness works. Bor argues that this brain-based faculty evolved as an accelerated knowledge gathering tool. Consciousness is effectively an idea factory - that choice mental space dedicated to innovation, a key component of which is the discovery of deep structures within the contents of our awareness. This model explains our brains' ravenous appetite for information - and in particular, its constant search for patterns. Why, for instance, after all our physical needs have been met, do we recreationally solve crossword or Sudoku puzzles? Such behavior may appear biologically wasteful, but, according to Bor, this search for structure can yield immense evolutionary benefits - it led our ancestors to discover fire and farming, pushed modern society to forge ahead in science and technology, and guides each one of us to understand and control the world around us. But the sheer innovative power of human consciousness carries with it the heavy cost of mental fragility. Bor discusses the medical implications of his theory of consciousness, and what it means for the origins and treatment of psychiatric ailments, including attention-deficit disorder, schizophrenia, manic depression, and autism. All mental illnesses, he argues, can be reformulated as disorders of consciousness - a perspective that opens up new avenues of treatment for alleviating mental suffering. A controversial view of consciousness, The Ravenous Brain links cognition to creativity in an ingenious solution to one of science's biggest mysteries.

读后感
意识即工作记忆 意识这个词，容易给人一种虚无缥缈的感觉。在《贪婪的大脑》一书中，作者认为意识即工作记忆。可以比喻成电脑的内存吧。不同的是电脑可以通过加内存条来增加容量。而人则是通过发现组块来提升意识的容量。 这个观点是很有意思的。储存在我们大脑中的知识，作...

评分 评分作为一个常识不够的人，看了还是觉得有收获。譬如大脑耗能占人体比重之大，让我怀疑自己的身体不好是不是用脑过度——其实我不怎么用脑，当然比起以摄影旅游为念的人来说要多一些。记得大二时，我逃课去图书馆四楼读赵汀阳的《一个或所有问题》，每读完一章觉得筋疲力尽（太费...
