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.

评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...
评分感觉意犹未尽啊,之前看了本极简宇宙史,量子力学的讲述让我迷迷糊糊,当时就在思考,我们身而为人,微观层面是由粒子构成,我们怎么就有了意识了呢?真是神奇。 很巧就碰到这本书,期待能弄明白意识从哪里而来,结果感觉没看够。 现实生活中,在地上滚动的皮球遵循牛顿的物理...

“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.
Gazzaniga就是大师呀,他这本书中的观点我基本上都同意,而且他总是能把我们熟知的例子放到自己的框架中重新演绎一番,有了新的理解和认识。最令我激动的就是这是第一次在心理学或者神经科学的书里看到人谈到我们大脑功能可能就是神经细胞“涌现”出来的,当年我看《深奥的简洁》的时候是有多激动的想我们大脑其实就是涌现出来的呀,今天看到如此明白的表达,觉得真是遇到了知音呀。而他对于责任的解释则认为是在社会层面的人与人之间的相互作用的结果。而且作者拥有的知识面和我的知识背景很相似,中间谈到神经成像证据在法庭上的作用,那些案例和大法官都非常熟悉呀。回答这个问题:我们有自由意志吗?有,涌现产生了底层所不具有的新特性。(其实这个是前馈和反馈共同作用的,下层的一些反映可以预测上层的一些结果,但是不是所有结果)。

评分人、脑、意识、自由意志的经典讨论套路,最后落到法律问题,也算是强行进行了应用。也许脑没那么自由,但人与人的联结与群体形成带来了真正的自由。
评分还可以
