事件相关电位基础
认知神经科学中的事件相关电位(ERP)技术使得科学家们能够观察到反映各种认知过程的人类脑活动。在《事件相关电位基础》一书中,Steven LuckX寸认知神经科学领域以及相关领域,包捂晴绪神经科学领域和实验精神病理学领域中的实用ERP实验问题,提供了最可充分理解的指导。本书可用作教学与实验的指南。对于那些虽然自己不进行ERP研究,但却需要理解和评价文献中ERP成分的研究者,本书也可用作参考。这本书总结了ERP理论与实践的积累,由此提供了怎样设计、进行,乃至解释ERP实验的详尽指导。这本书还介绍了所需要的理论背景,用以理解一个实验为什么会以某种方式完成。Luck集中地讨论了全世界很多先进ERP实验室所用的那些最基本的技术,这些技术反映了电生理记录的长期发展历史,并为更先进的方法提供了良好的基础。 -
Sleights of Mind
Have you ever wondered how a magician saws a woman in half? Or makes coins materialize out of thin air? Or reads your mind? Magic tricks work because humans have a hardwired process of attention and awareness that is hackable. A good magician uses your mind's intrinsic properties against you in a form of mental jujitsu, to fool you every time, even when you know full well that you are being tricked.Now Stephen L. Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde, the founders of the exciting new discipline of neuromagic, have convinced some of the world's greatest magicians to reveal their techniques for tricking the brain. This fascinating book is the result of the authors' worldwide exploration of magic and how its ancient principles can now be explained using the latest discoveries of cognitive neuroscience.The secrets behind magic tricks reveal how your brain works not just when watching a magic show but in everyday situations. For instance, if you've ever found yourself paying for -

第七感
《第七感:心理、大脑与人际关系的新观念》以心理学为理论基础,通过解释大脑复杂的运作机制,讲述了心理和大脑的协同作用。将古老的冥想实践与现代神经科学、心理疗法进行了整合,揭开了心理、大脑与人际关系相互作用的神秘面纱。西格尔博士提出的第七感理论,堪与弗洛伊德的潜意识理论、达尔文的进化论并驾齐驱,在身、心与大脑整合方面,无人能出其右。 人类的五种感官知觉,让我们得以探索外在世界;第六感,让我们得以察觉自己内在的生理状态。第七感,则是一种向内观看的能力,也是《第七感:心理、大脑与人际关系的新观念》作者丹尼尔•西格尔博士结合脑神经科学与心理临床治疗的研究结晶。第七感不仅使我们关注自己的内心,也使我们体悟他人的感受, 从而在彼此间建立情感联结。 《第七感:心理、大脑与人际关系的新观念》是作者丹尼尔•西格尔25年临床经验的成果。它指导我们如何掌握第七感这项技能,让读者了解,其实我们有比自己想象的更多的机会去改变自己的心理、大脑、人际关系,甚至是某些与生俱来的性格特点,从而实现自我蜕变,获得幸福、健康,以及令人满意的人际关系。 海报: -
Principles of Neural Science
This is the most authoritative introduction to the brain, its structure, function, development, and control of behavior available today. It presents both a comprehensive summary of the state of the science and a full discussion of historical issues in the study of the brain. Neuroanatomy, cell and molecular mechanisms, mechanisms, of signaling, and development are thoroughly described in the context of the cognitive approaches to behavior. Thoroughly revised, with a new full-color art program, this text was re-designed to be more user friendly. Also featured is an expanded treatment of the development of the nervous system, the genetic basis of neurological and psychiatric diseases, the cognitive neuroscience of perception, and icon channel mechanisms. -
Phantoms in the Brain
Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran is internationally renowned for uncovering answers to the deep and quirky questions of human nature that few scientists have dared to address. His bold insights about the brain are matched only by the stunning simplicity of his experiments -- using such low-tech tools as cotton swabs, glasses of water and dime-store mirrors. In Phantoms in the Brain, Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on the deep architecture of the brain, and what these findings tell us about who we are, how we construct our body image, why we laugh or become depressed, why we may believe in God, how we make decisions, deceive ourselves and dream, perhaps even why we're so clever at philosophy, music and art. Some of his most notable cases: A woman paralyzed on the left side of her body who believes she is lifting a tray of drinks with both hands offers a unique opportunity to test Freud's theory of denial. A man who insists he is talking with God challenges us to ask: Could we be "wired" for religious experience? A woman who hallucinates cartoon characters illustrates how, in a sense, we are all hallucinating, all the time. Dr. Ramachandran's inspired medical detective work pushes the boundaries of medicine's last great frontier -- the human mind -- yielding new and provocative insights into the "big questions" about consciousness and the self.
