Natural-Born Cyborgs: Minds, Technologies, and the Future of Human Intelligence
ISBN: 9780195177510 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From Robocop to the Terminator to Eve 8, no image better captures our deepest fears about technology than the cyborg, the person who is both flesh and metal, brain and electronics. But philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark sees it differently. Cyborgs, he writes, are not something to be feared--we already are cyborgs.
In Natural-Born Cyborgs, Clark argues that what makes humans so different from other species is our capacity to fully incorporate tools and supporting cultural practices into our existence. Technology as simple as writing on a sketchpad, as familiar as Google or a...

Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions
ISBN: 9780195178050 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In Affective Neuroscience, Jaak Panksepp provides the most up-to-date information about the brain-operating systems that organize the fundamental emotional tendencies of all mammals. Presenting complex material in a readable manner, the book offers...

Consciousness Lost and Found: A Neuropsychological Exploration
ISBN: 9780198524588 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The phenomenon of "consciousness" is intrinsically related to one's awareness of one's self, of time, and of the physical world. But what if something should happen to impair one's awareness? What do we make of "consciousness" in those people who have suffered brain damage? These questions and more are explored by Lawrence Weiskrantz, a distinguished neuropsychologist, in this unparalleled look at human awareness.
It has been discovered that many brain damaged individuals retain intact capacities in what is known as covert' processing. A blind patient, then, may actually be able to "see"...

He argues that intelligence is not solely predetermined by...
