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.

最後並沒有讓人期待的結論,不過自由意誌這個問題本來就是爭議多多。書中提及的比較有趣的一點是,人類很多時候行動在意識之前,我們的下意識就已經讓我們做齣瞭很多舉動應對刺激,意識參與進來的時候,行為已經發生,更多是我們的意識在閤理化先前的舉動,尋求因果關係,編齣...
評分 評分感覺意猶未盡啊,之前看瞭本極簡宇宙史,量子力學的講述讓我迷迷糊糊,當時就在思考,我們身而為人,微觀層麵是由粒子構成,我們怎麼就有瞭意識瞭呢?真是神奇。 很巧就碰到這本書,期待能弄明白意識從哪裏而來,結果感覺沒看夠。 現實生活中,在地上滾動的皮球遵循牛頓的物理...
評分1、大腦功能是區域化的,但是並不代錶意識是某一個特定區域産生的。 2、大腦的塑造過程中,進化造成的區域功能和後天學習得來的功能同樣重要。可以說人腦由遺傳特性和社會環境共同塑造的(默默點頭)。 3、在左腦(也就是控製有半側軀乾活動的腦)中存在一個被作者定義為解釋器...
評分1大腦內置著成韆上萬的預設偏好,無需後天經驗(如對風吹草動恐懼的無意識反應)。學習隻是在先天能力中做選擇。大腦觀:整體遺傳,局部層麵連接活性依賴,外部經驗。 2左右半腦分工。大腦並沒有統一的指揮官,在有意識知覺的水平麵下,是極為繁忙的無意識大腦(許多局部意識係...

膜拜gazzaniga大牛
評分可以和out of control呼應著看看
評分還可以
評分:無
評分覺得沒有期待中的好,沒有給我思考的那幾個問題有太多的啓發。又或者我應該再讀一遍~
