Brains: How They Seem To Work

4.9/5 (27772 ratings)

Description:It may be the hardest problem in science: "How do our brains really work?" In "Brains," one of the field's leading scientists takes you on a guided tour through the recent history of neuroscience and offers a notion as to where neuroscience may well be headed next. Purves offers a critical assessment of the paths that neuroscience research has taken, both their successes and their limitations, and then introduces an alternative approach for thinking about brains. Building on new research on visual perception, he shows why common ideas about brain networks can't be right and uncovers the evolutionary drivers behind complex neural processes. In this deeply personal book, you'll gain a new understanding into how brains appear to work--and how world-class scientists work, too. For 50 years, the world's most brilliant neuroscientists have struggled to understand how human brains really work. Today, says Dale Purves, the dominant research agenda may have taken us as far as it can--and neuroscientists may be approaching a paradigm shift. In this highly personal book, Purves reveals how we got here and offers his notion of where neuroscience may be headed next. Purves guides you through a half-century of the most influential ideas in neuroscience and introduces you to the extraordinary scientists and physicians who created and tested them.
