Zero to Birth takes you on an extraordinary journey to the very edge of creation, from the moment of an egg’s fertilization through each step of a human brain’s development in the womb―and even a little beyond.
A neuroscientist investigates how the architecture of the human brain shapes our understanding of the nature of time.
"Time" is the most common noun in the English language, yet philosophers and scientists don't agree about what time actually is or how to define it. Perhaps this is because the brain—the most complex dynamical system in the known universe—tells, represents, and perceives time in multiple ways.
The Mind: Consciousness, Prediction, and the Brain
An accessible and engaging account of the mind and its connection to the brain.
The mind encompasses everything we experience, and these experiences are created by the brain—often without our awareness. Experience is private; we can't know the minds of others. But we also don't know what is happening in our own minds.
The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss
A renowned grief expert and neuroscientist shares groundbreaking discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve, providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and learning.
Pain is an inevitable part of existence, but severe debilitating or chronic pain is a pathological condition that diminishes the quality of life. The Brain and Pain explores the present and future of pain management, providing a comprehensive understanding based on the latest discoveries from many branches of neuroscience.
Two years ago, Dan Akarca & I wondered: Could the various features we observe in brains across species be caused by shared functional, structural & energetic constraints? 🧠⚡️
With our now published spatially embedded RNNs we show this is true!
From the author of How Emotions Are Made , a captivating collection of short essays about your brain, in the tradition of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and Seven Brief Lessons on Physics .
Living in an age of digital distraction has wreaked havoc on our brains--but there's much we can do to restore our tech-life balance. We live in a world that is always on, where everyone is always connected. But we feel increasingly disconnected. Why? The answer lies in our brains.
A path-breaking journey into the brain, showing how perception, thought, and action are products of maps etched into your gray matter—and how technology can use them to read your mind.
A Brief History of Intelligence
Why the Evolution of the Brain Holds the Key to the Future of AI
A Brief History of Intelligence bridges the gap between AI and neuroscience by telling the evolutionary story of how the brain came to be. The entirety of the human brain's 4-billion-year story can be summarised as the culmination of five evolutionary breakthroughs, starting from the very first brains, all the way to the modern human brains.
"Contrary to the ‘bystander effect’, where individuals are less likely to intervene in adverse situations when others are present, those with autism do not conform to this norm. They are more prone to act in the face of wrongdoing, indicating the potential benefits organizations could derive from hiring neurodivergent individuals."
In this stimulating anthology, twenty-five philosophers and scientists offer fresh insights into the mind-brain debate, drawing on psychology, neurology, philosophy, computer science, and neurosurgery. Their provocative conclusion? The mind is indeed more than the brain.
Dr. Berk is on a mission to help others with acute neurological injuries (ANI)— namely spinal cord injury, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.
ANI can affect the whole body—from brain to heart to bladder. In Getting Your Brain and Body Back, Dr. Berk covers each system, offering up-to-date guidance on recovery, treatment, and daily living.
New research sheds light on the idea of consciousness: There’s a difference between what the brain takes in and what we’re consciously aware of. Where consciousness is managed in the brain has been a mystery, but we may have an answer now. Here’s more from Science Alert: https://flip.it/vfm7k1 #Science#Neurology#Brain
