Summary
Michael Corballis: Parts of the mind - 21 short walks around the human brain
The rise and prestige of modern neuroscience (eng. neuroscience, German. Neurowissenschaft) - an interdisciplinary field that mainly uses knowledge from biology, psychology and medicine in researching the functioning of the human brain, behavior and nervous system - leads many to the conclusion that today we live in an era of paradigm change. Indeed, it offers answers to a growing number of traditionally philosophical, sociological, linguistic and psychoanalytic questions, which established humanistic studies in the West can no longer ignore.
With short and popularly written articles on visual perception and imagination, language development, attention, memory, empathy, etc., neuropsychologist Michael Corballis opens the door to the "modern science of the mind" to a wider audience.
