The silly brain

The wheel of movement. The cages. Forgetting people's names. Why did I enter this room? Regarding something supposed to be amazing, advanced, and very noble, the human brain has a fair amount of chaos and disorder and is highly prone to errors. In the foolish brain, neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates all the flaws and shortcomings of the human brain in all its glory, and shows us the impact of those impulses on our daily lives. Based on authentic research experience and written in an entertaining and amusing style, this book is for anyone who has wondered about our brain's ability to ruin our lives and make them miserable, and has rightly asked God what is really going on inside his head. "An enjoyable scientific walk with the irrational mental processes we perform." Jaya Vines, author of "Adventures in the Anthropocene." "A wonderful introduction to neuroscience." Lyle Sanay, The Independent. "The book presents enlightening discussions about how memory works, about fear and panic attacks, about how much we are exposed to being deceived by others or suffering from depression, and about the marvels and wonders of the human senses." The Wall Street Journal
