在分享这篇笔记的时候,我发现我更改了笔的色号,也在迎接我的职业生涯。 这本书花费很久才攻坚下来,(艰,sorry)很久之后去阅读这么一本脑类学家的书,才发现它的精彩之处和困难之点。印象深刻的点可能是在区分人身体结构和精神层次上有了了解,也许心理问题的产生不一定是...
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...
评分坦率的讲,这是一部在我看来多少有些晦涩难懂的书,曾经多次拿起又多次放下,促使我读下去的,其实是书中所提到的那一个个真实存在的案例。 《脑中魅影》是湖南科学技术出版社出版的第一推动丛书中的其中一本,其作者拉马钱德兰博士曾被誉为i世界上最有影响力的人物之一,其在...
评分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...
评分这是一本能发现和认识自己及他人的一本书,作者从脑神经学的角度讲述了各种各样的医学案例,让我对“神经病”或是“疯子”这样的社会标签有了相对具体的认知。如果将书中所描述的病症放在身边人的身上,通常那个人会被冠以各种标签;但是作者用科学的解释帮助我正视这些病症。...

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.
这个没Sacks那本那么夸张。

评分非常酷和有趣的书
评分思维的各种盲点。
评分拉瑪醫師:科學(包括宇宙學、演化論,尤其是腦科學)告訴我們,我們在宇宙中沒有特權的地位,而我們有獨立的靈魂『注視世界』的想法亦是一種妄想。這些想法符合東方神秘的傳統,如印度教或禪宗。一旦你了解自己不再是旁觀者,卻是宇宙事件永恆浪潮的一部份時,你會得到解放。這種想法也會讓你培養一種謙虛之心,這是所有真正宗教經驗的真諦。 我个人感觉有点意义疗法的意味,又感觉似乎有一种“我控制我的大脑,还是我的大脑控制我”的感觉。暂时还没有看全书,只是浏览了賴其萬教授关于这本书的解读,http://goo.gl/DN4CC.
