Michael S. Gazzaniga, one of the premiere doctors of neuroscience, was born on December 12, 1939 in Los Angeles. Educated at Dartmouth College and California Institute of Technology, he is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he heads the new SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind.
His early research examined the subject of epileptics who had undergone surgery to control seizures. He has also studied Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients and reveals important findings in books such as Cognitive Neuroscience: The Biology of the Mind.
While many of his writings are technical, he also educates and stimulates readers with discussions about the fascinating and mysterious workings of the brain. Books such as The Social Brain and The Mind's Past bring forth new information and theories regarding how the brain functions, interacts, and responds with the body and the environment.
“Big questions are Gazzaniga’s stock in trade.”
—New York Times
“Gazzaniga is one of the most brilliant experimental neuroscientists in the world.”
—Tom Wolfe
“Gazzaniga stands as a giant among neuroscientists, for both the quality of his research and his ability to communicate it to a general public with infectious enthusiasm.”
—Robert Bazell, Chief Science Correspondent, NBC News
The author of Human, Michael S. Gazzaniga has been called the “father of cognitive neuroscience.” In his remarkable book, Who’s in Charge?, he makes a powerful and provocative argument that counters the common wisdom that our lives are wholly determined by physical processes we cannot control. His well-reasoned case against the idea that we live in a “determined” world is fascinating and liberating, solidifying his place among the likes of Oliver Sacks, Antonio Damasio, V.S. Ramachandran, and other bestselling science authors exploring the mysteries of the human brain.
加扎尼加从神经机制的角度,论述了意识,自我,自由意志等广泛关注的哲学议题,认为人的大脑是一个分工模块式的复杂系统,人之所以感觉到有一个统一的自我,是因为左脑解释系统对从无意识中进入意识的信息碎片进行了整合,编织出一个完整有意义的解释;其实大脑活动是在无意识...
评分科學界的知識份子有一種明顯的主流信念,那就是:我們活在一個決定論的宇宙裡。也就是說,宇宙間的物理法則同時適用於物質的、生物的、人體的與人造的一切。而神經科學家在歷經近百年的實證研究後,更成為科學界一群堅定傾向決定論的尖兵。因而當代顯學之一的神經科學,經常引...

评分 评分1、遗传还是培养。华生的大脑白板论。大脑并不是白板,而是有预制程序的,这种预制程序是进化的结果。遗传和培养都不是意识的唯一决定因素。 2、意识是复杂系统。意识不是普罗米修斯的小矮人,而是分布式、多层次、可进化的复杂系统。局部的模块化结构处理不同的环境刺激。意识...
觉得没有期待中的好,没有给我思考的那几个问题有太多的启发。又或者我应该再读一遍~
评分还可以
评分把思考快与慢秒得渣渣都不剩,不知道另一本怎么被吹成畅销书的。
评分没有更多关于top-down神经机制的知识还是略失望;定义“自由意志”还是得取决于人类怎么理解知觉和自我意识这些“日常应用界面”,毕竟在系统内的人类还是没办法做到全知全能的啊。
评分真的令人找到一个新的理解自己的途径,关于distribured modules 和 interpreter真的很有趣啊。 人类不过是自我欺骗啊,而且是最高等级的自欺欺人,因为这个过程自己也完全没有概念不是么。 我们的一切解释都不过是取决于曾经的Input,我们跟AI有什么不同。 再说另一个概念上来说,我不过是我过去经验的奴隶了。
