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 about the world’s place within us. In the process, they invite us to view ourselves from a startling new perspective. They shine a light on our past and our possible futures. Brain maps distort and shape our experience of the world, support complex thought, and make technology-enabled mind reading a modern-day reality. Although scientists began discovering these maps over a century ago, we are only now beginning to unlock their secrets-and comprehend their profound impact on our lives. Your brain is a collection of maps: detailed representations, scrawled across your brain’s surfaces, of the sights, sounds, and actions that hold the key to your survival.
“Enlightening and ambitious… a book that travels into rich terrain, charted by a smart and eager tour guide.”- New York Times Book ReviewĪ path-breaking journey into the brain, showing how perception, thought, and action are products of maps etched into your gray matter-and how technology can use them to read your mind.
