Brainscapes: An Atlas of Your Life on Earth

Your Brain Is A Collection Of Maps. That Is No Metaphor: Scrawled Across Your Brain's Surfaces Are Actual Schematic Images Of The Sights, Sounds, And Actions That Hold The Key To Your Survival. Scientists First Began Uncovering These Maps Over A Century Ago, But We Are Only Now Beginning To Unlock Their Secrets. Our Inner Cartography Distorts And Shapes Our Experience Of The World, Supporting Complex Thought, And Making Technology-enabled Mind-reading A Reality. The Maps In Our Brain Raise Important Questions About What Is Real, What Is Fair, And What Is Private. They Shine A Light On Our Past And Our Possible Futures, And Invite Us To View Ourselves From A Startling New Perspective. In Brainscapes, Rebecca Schwarzlose Combines Unforgettable Real-life Stories, Cutting-edge Research, And Vivid Illustrations To Reveal Brain Maps' Surprising Lessons About Our Place In The World - And The World's Place Within Us.
