“The Brain is Material” is a new bestseller from Asya Kazantseva.
Why psychologists and neuroscientists liken falling in love with drug addiction, can we live without a brain or at least some of its parts, why do we need to sleep, what to do to make it easier to get down to work every day and get less distracted, like the victory of the German national team football affects life satisfaction, is modern science far from creating cyborgs that combine living organs with robotic implants in their bodies, how neurons work, can some of our character traits be changed with the help of neurostimulation and is it worth doing? Asya Kazantseva’s book is a real guide to the fascinating and incredible history of our brain, filled with fantastic experiences, unexpected discoveries and amazing facts. The book itself, for all its serious scientific significance, is written not only easily and accessible, but also with incredibly subtle humor, which turns reading into a truly fascinating activity.
