In Becoming Fluent, Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insights from psychology and cognitive science to show that adults can master a foreign language if they bring to bear the skills and knowledge they have honed over a lifetime. Adults shouldn't try to learn as children do, they should learn like adults. Roberts and Kreuz report evidence that adults can learn new languages even more easily than children.

Combining ideas from philosophy, artificial intelligence, and neurobiology, Daniel Dennett leads the listener on a fascinating journey of inquiry, exploring such intriguing possibilities as: Can any of us really know what is going on in someone else's mind? What distinguishes the human mind from the minds of animals, especially those capable of complex behavior? If such animals, for instance, were magically given the power of language, would their communities evolve an intelligence as subtly discriminating as ours?

Haptics, or haptic sensing, refers to the ability to identify and perceive objects through touch. This is active touch, involving exploration of an object with the hand rather than the passive sensing of a vibration or force on the skin. The development of new technologies, including prosthetic hands and tactile surfaces for flat screen displays, depends on our knowledge of haptics. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lynette Jones offers an accessible overview of haptics, or active touch sensing, and its applications.

Min W. Jung offers a new understanding of the neural basis of innovation in terms of humans' exceptional capacity for imagination and high-level abstraction. He provides an engaging account of recent advances in neuroscience that have shed light on the neural underpinnings of these profoundly important abilities.

He also considers how these capacities might have evolved as well as possible futures for intelligence.

Tras el éxito de Y el cerebro creó al hombre, Destino incorpora dos clásicos de Antonio Damasio. El error de Descartes lo supo ver, hace ya varios siglos, Spinoza. El filósofo holandés, al que Damasio califica de "protobiólogo", teorizó ya en el siglo XVII sobre la conexión entre cuerpo y mente, pavimentando así el camino para la moderna neurofisiología. A través de una asombrosa cantidad de ejemplos reales, Damasio argumenta a favor de esa misma teoría.

Antonio Damasio, el mayor divulgador científico, analiza qué son los sentimientos y cuál es su papel en el ciclo de la vida. "Este libro trata de un interés y de una idea. Hace mucho tiempo que me intriga el afecto humano (el mundo de las emociones y de los sentimientos) y he pasado muchos años investigándolo: por qué y cómo nos emocionamos, sentimos, usamos los sentimientos para construir nuestro yo; cómo los sentimientos ayudan a nuestras mejores intenciones o las socavan; por qué y cómo el cerebro interactúa con el cuerpo para sostener dichas funciones.

In the early 1960s scientists at the University of California, Berkeley set out to establish the key factors affecting health and longevity. Their results, known as the ‘Alameda 7’, you already know: don’t smoke, drink in moderation, sleep seven to eight hours a night, exercise, eat regular meals, maintain a moderate weight, eat breakfast. Years later, however, the same team discovered an eighth factor, one that proved more important than all the others: social connection.

In the United States alone, one in five adults experiences chronic pain. For too long, when a doctor couldn’t find the source of frequent pain, the patient was dismissively told “it’s all in your head.” Today, we know that our somatic responses to trauma, anxiety, and depression create real suffering, and that physical pain can lead to trauma, anxiety, and depression. Dr. Daniel Amen calls this “the doom loop”—the dance between physical and emotional pain. These doom loops interfere with our ability to live our lives. But we can shift the doom loop into a healing loop.
