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.
人类历史上有很多专心于思考这个世界并且很了不起的先辈。说完这句话,我想到波普尔关于三个世界的说法,一个是现实世界,一个是内心世界,一个是文化世界。我们都有内心世界,都活在现实中,都在文化世界内。但是,从这里有了分别。有一类人,主要生活在现实世界中,追求this-...
評分 評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...
評分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...
評分为什么我们会对某些行为感到不齿,又会对某些行为“出离愤怒”?这种心理机制究竟是一时冲动,凭借原始的道德感,还是有更深层次的规律可循? 关于愤怒时大脑的运作与社会原因对其的影响,《谁说了算:自由意志的心理学解读》给出了自己的答案。 从癫痫病到裂脑症 早上,你走出...
還可以
评分看看
评分沒有更多關於top-down神經機製的知識還是略失望;定義“自由意誌”還是得取決於人類怎麼理解知覺和自我意識這些“日常應用界麵”,畢竟在係統內的人類還是沒辦法做到全知全能的啊。
