Description
The human brain is a complex and intricate information-processing environment. Cognitive neuroscience helps us understand its workings by studying the brain biology behind mental functions. Mind Hacks explores the moment-by-moment operations of the brain, using experiments, tricks, and tips to shed light on how it works. By examining specific brain processes, such as vision, motor skills, attention, and cognition, we can gain insights into the architecture and design of the brain. This book offers a unique look inside the brain, with hacks like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Turn On and Off Bits of the Brain and Tour the Cortex and the Four Lobes.
