¿Cómo pensamos? ¿Qué podemos conocer? Bruno Maduro profundiza en los grandes temas que hacen a nuestras capacidades cognitivas. Y aclara desde el vamos que su libro será una obra filosófica, si bien él cuenta con una vasta formación en psicoanálisis, neurociencias y diversas corrientes de la psicología. La exploración se inicia recuperando algunas fuentes de la filosofía griega que todavía ofrecen estímulos valiosísimos para esta reflexión.

Klimakrise, tab af natur og biodiversitet og menneskelig mistrivsel handler alt sammen om, at noget er galt. Det kunne se ud, som om det er verden, der er kaotisk, men sådan forholder det sig ikke. Det kaotiske er i os mennesker - det er os, der skaber ubalance og kaos i omgivelserne, og derfor er det os, der må ændre radikalt på den måde, vi er i verden på. Det handler i meget høj grad om, at vi skal give slip på gamle indlærte vaner og mindske vores egoisme og grådighed.

The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses.

We all know we tell stories about ourselves. But as psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Berns argues in The Self Delusion, we don’t just tell stories; we are the stories. Our self-identities are fleeting phenomena, continually reborn as our conscious minds receive, filter, or act on incoming information from the world and our memories.

Can you think yourself to health and happiness? Discover the scientific evidence that says you can! The mind-body connection has been in focus for thousands of years.

Do negative thoughts trigger disruptive changes in our bodies? Can you heal your body with your mind? Can the answer to your health problems be as simple as...meditation?

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. Carl D. Marci, MD, a leading expert on social and consumer neuroscience, reviews the mounting evidence that overuse of smart phones and social media is rewiring our brains, resulting in a losing deal: we are neglecting the relationships that sustain us and keep us healthy in favor of weaker and more ephemeral ties. Rewired provides scientifically supported solutions for everyone who wants to restore their tech-life balance.

Immagina di conoscere i segreti della psicologia umana. Le tecniche che i manipolatori utilizzano per far si che le persone scelgano e compiano determinate azioni che loro vogliono. Ognuno di noi reagisce sulla base di impulsi emotivi primari, causati da parole, gesti o eventi esterni, anche se si crede di farlo in modo autonomo, logico ed obiettivo. In questo manuale riconoscerete questi schemi che si ripetono e li assocerete al comportamento che ne consegue, in questo modo avrete in mano la chiave per aprire e conoscere la mente di chiunque.

Manche Menschen haben eine sehr verräterische Mimik – auch wenn sie nichts sagen, sieht ihr Gegenüber sofort, in welcher Stimmung sie sind oder was sie von eben Gehörtem halten. Dabei gehe das, was unser Gesicht verraten soll, weit über Zustimmung oder Ablehnung hinaus, sagen manche Experten. Emotionen aller Art, Lügen, die sexuelle Orientierung, sogar eine etwaige kriminelle Neigung soll sich darin widerspiegeln. Dementsprechend groß ist das Interesse an professioneller Gesichtserkennung.

Narrated by the author, Diane Wilson shares her journey through random and sometimes humorous events of having an invisible illness, how her brain kept this injury even from herself, the loss of focus and sense of self, an obsession with day trading retirement funds, and the alternative therapies that helped heal her brain—a retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, acupuncture, learning to sing, and, most centrally, neurofeedback.

At its heart, polyvagal theory describes how the brain's unconscious sense of safety or danger impacts our emotions and behaviors. In this powerful book, pediatrician and neonatologist Marilyn R. Sanders and child psychiatrist George S. Thompson offer both a meditation on caregiving and a call to action. By attending to the lessons of polyvagal theory—that adult caregivers must be aware of children's unconscious processing of sensory information—the authors show how professionals can play a critical role in establishing a sense of safety even in the face of dangerous situations.

Our brain is recreating the world in its own way—most of the time for our own good: how hard would it be if, before making a choice, we had to know about all the options available in a given situation? Luckily, our brain can estimate: it allows us to reconstruct the world as we know it, and live in it. However, these very useful mechanisms can sometimes mislead us and have a rather negative impact on our actions, beliefs and opinions: when our brain behaves that way, we say it is biased. Albert Moukheiber gives us tips and tricks to fight against these cognitive biases.

By the time a baby is born, its brain is equipped with billions of intricately crafted neurons wired together through trillions of interconnections to form a compact and breathtakingly efficient supercomputer. 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. As W. A. Harris guides you through the process of how the brain is built, he takes up the biggest questions that scientists have asked about the developing brain.

If you or someone you love has suffered a traumatic event, you know the devastating impact it can have on your life and your spirit. Life-threatening accidents, illnesses, assaults, abusive relationships—or a tragedy like 9/11—all can leave deep emotional wounds that persist long after physical scars have healed. Survivors become “invisible heroes,” courageously struggling to lead normal lives in spite of symptoms so baffling and disturbing that they sometimes doubt their own sanity.

Individuals seeking to widen their tribes of friends, fans, and followers have an abundance of resources for building their digital footprints and social media popularity. All of this seems well and good from the perspective of revenue, exposure, and perhaps ego-building, but what is the impact of this on the human brain and our behavior? Is anyone paying attention to the lurking side effects of the social media influencer revolution?

Written by professor of cognitive neuroscience at UCL Sophie Scott and composed of 10 mind-blowing yet accessible essays, The Brain guides you through the astounding complexities of the organ that makes you, you.
