Neural Logic: Mysterious Human Behavior and the Brain Mechanisms That Solve Mysteries

When we fall asleep, external stimuli are integrated into our dreams. These dreams often contain things that are familiar to us because the area of ​​our hippocampus that is active during play is also activated when we begin to dream. At the same time, our thalamus will also show different states. Scientists discovered by observing people's brain waves during sleep that three areas work together. Although this model of dreaming is not complete, it provides a theoretical basis for our understanding of dream pathways. Of course, this pathway may also include many other brain regions, which requires further study and exploration.

This book is very interesting! It mentions a number of strange behavioral and psychological phenomena, such as yawn contagion and false memories, and explains how the brain works. This reminds me of the book "Weird Psychology", which also uses some strange cases to reveal the logic of human behavior. And the characters in the book are also very interesting. People like Walter who clearly have vision problems but don't admit it reminded me of those stubborn people in life. But it also gave me a better understanding of human behavior and the mechanism of the brain, which was very enlightening!

From the weirdest dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the brain is responsible for all kinds of weird thoughts and behaviors. From the outside, these phenomena often appear "crazy", but in fact they have a logic to follow, and this logic allows us to create experiences and preserve ourselves. Whether it is common behaviors, psychological conditions and emotions such as contagious yawning, false memories, eating when you are not hungry, the prevalence of porn, empathy, or surprising cases such as lucid dreams, near-death experiences, sights seen by blind people, sleepwalking and murder, etc., "The Logic of Neurology" tells us all.

Cranial nerves are perhaps the most core tissue in the human body. They determine what people see, hear, think, and act at the physiological level. Because of this, understanding the basic physiological mechanisms of brain nerves is very beneficial to our understanding of human behavior and social operations. Of course, the interesting thing about this book is that the author does not simply reduce human behavior to the biological level. On the contrary, it also pays attention to the social shaping mechanism of human behavior. This makes the analysis in this book have strong practical significance.

We often have questions such as why we can construct such a complete worldview in our minds while sleeping, why yawning is contagious, why we always want to eat even though we are not hungry, and why we always feel familiar when we see some scenes. These questions are actually related to neuroscience. This book is dedicated to solving these mysterious phenomena, telling us the neural logic behind them, and explaining weird phenomena in a scientific way, which is very informative.

Neural Logic is an eye-opening, entertaining and illuminating study that explains why we do some of the strangest things we do. Sternberg pries open our minds, explains how the brain works, and offers insights into a range of topics such as perception, habits, hypnosis, language, and learning. This book provides readers with professional guidance on how to face the unconscious logic of the human brain.

I saw a lot of new knowledge that I had never seen before

It's so cool. After reading it for 6 hours, I still want to buy a physical book to collect.

It is simple, easy to understand, and the content is very suitable for popular science books for the general public.

The cases and experiments are wonderful, and the writing is average. Completely from a scientific perspective, it is very helpful to understand that "everything is false".

The writing is very clear and can be understood by ordinary people.

It's a very good popular science article with rich scientific and interesting content. I've benefited a lot from it.
