Krátky popis
In his previous books, Oliver Sacks had addressed questions of the
brain and mind through the lens of case histories of individuals
with neurological disorders. Recently, however, he had been
reflecting on his experiences with such patients in the context of
a lifetime of medical practice, and in light of recent
neuroscientific evidence and theories. The River of Consciousness
will be a broader and more direct look at how the brain and mind
work, as always, incorporating Sacks' rich historical and personal
context. Advances in neuroscience have revolutionized our ability
to visualize the brain in action. For the first time we are able to
close the gap between the philosophical questions which have
consumed the world's thinkers since the eighteenth century and the
true physiological basis of perception and consciousness. In The
River of Consciousness, Sacks will examine questions of memory,
time, and consciousness. How do we think, how do we remember? Do
different individuals have different speeds or ways of thinking? Is
memory reliable? How do the neural correlates of memory differ for
true memories and false memories? How do we construct our sense of
time, our visual world? What is consciousness, neurologically
speaking? And most importantly, what is creativity? Sacks completed
the research for this book before he died, and with instructions on
how it was to be put together. This is a remarkable culmination of
a lifetime's research into the way the brain works.
