Neuromania: On the limits of brain science / Нейромания: об ограниченности нейронауки
Год: 2011 Автор: Paolo Legrenzi, Carlo Umilta / Паоло Легренци, Карло Умильта Переводчик: Frances Anderson Жанр: Нейропсихология Издательство: Oxford University Press ISBN: 978-0199591343 Язык: Английский Формат: PDF Качество: Изначально компьютерное (eBook) Количество страниц: 133 Описание: Короткая критичная книга итальянских психологов, посвященная бурному развитию и популяризации нейронауки и ее новых областей - нейроэкономики, нейротеологии и т.д. В работе речь идет о ловушках, возможных опасностях и новых вызовах, которые ставят перед нами открытия в области науки о мозге.Neuroeconomics, neuromarketing, neuroaesthetics, and neurotheology are just a few of the novel disciplines that have been inspired by a combination of ancient knowledge together with recent discoveries about how the human brain works. The mass media are full of news items featuring colour photos of the brain, that show us the precise location in which a certain thought or emotion, or even love occurs, hence leading us to believe that we can directly observe, with no mediation, the brain at work. But is this really so? Even throughout the developed world, the general public has been seduced into believing that any study, research article, or news report, accompanied by a brain image or two is more reliable and more scientific, than one featuring more mundane illustrations.This fascinating, accessible, and thought provoking new book questions our obsession with brain imaging. Written by two highly experienced psychologists, it discusses some of the familiar ideas usually associated wtih mind-body, brain-psyche, and nature-culture relationships, showing how the biased and unquestioning use of brain imaging technology could have significant cultural effects for all of us.
