Introducing Mind and Brain A Graphic Guide - Angus Gellatly - książka

Opis

Emotions play a significant role in our decision-making processes by influencing our choices and judgments. Certain scents can evoke long-dormant memories, instantly bringing past experiences to the forefront of our minds, while unexpected shifts in our self-awareness can prompt introspection. The brain, as a biological organ, is the foundation of our mental processes, enabling us to think, feel, and experience consciousness. It facilitates the emergence of what we perceive as "the mind." "Introducing Mind and Brain" delves into scientific insights related to planning, action, language, memory, attention, emotions, and vision. It charts the evolution of our understanding of the brain's functions from ancient times to the modern era of neuro-imaging. Authored by Professor of Psychology Angus Gellatly and enhanced by the visuals of award-winning artist Oscar Zarate, the book encourages readers to view the nature of the mind, consciousness, and personal identity from a fresh perspective.
