505 0 _aThe origin of thought : how do babies think and communicate, and how can we understand them better? -- The fuzzy borders of identity : what defines our choices and allows us to trust other people and our own decisions? -- The machine that constructs reality : how does consciousness emerge in the brain and how are we governed by our unconscious? -- Voyages of consciousness (or consciousness tripping) : what happens in the brain as we dream; is it possible for us to decipher, control, and manipulate our dreams? -- The brain is constantly transforming : what makes our brain more or less predisposed to change? -- Educated brains : how can we use what we have learned about the brain and human thought to improve education?
520 _a"From a world-renowned leader in neuroscience, a provocative, enthralling journey into the depths of the human mind. Where do our thoughts come from? How do we make choices and trust our judgments? What is the role of the unconscious? Can we manipulate our dreams? In this mind-bending international bestseller, award-winning neuroscientist Mariano Sigman explores the complex answers to these and many other age-old questions. Over the course of his 20-year career investigating the inner workings of the human brain, Dr. Sigman has cultivated a remarkable interdisciplinary vision. He draws on research in physics, linguistics, psychology, education, and beyond to explain why people who speak more than one language are less prone to dementia; how infants can recognize by sight objects they've previously only touched; how babies, even before they utter their first word, have an innate sense of right and wrong; and how we can "read" the thoughts of vegetative patients by decoding patterns in their brain activity. Building on the author's awe-inspiring TED talk, the cutting-edge research presented in The Secret Life of the Mind revolutionizes how we understand the role that neuroscience plays in our lives, unlocking the mysterious cerebral processes that control the ways in which we learn, reason, feel, think, and dream."--
