"Yale Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn explains why our judgment is so often wrong--and offers actionable strategies to help us respond to real-life challenges as individuals and as societies at large"--

Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule--what scientists know for sure about how our brains work--and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives

Draws on the author's extensive research from "Proust and the Squid" to consider the future of the reading brain and its capacity for critical thinking, empathy, and reflection in today's highly digitized world. A decade ago, Wolf's Proust and the Squid revealed what we know about how the brain learns to read and how reading changes the way we think and feel. Now, in a series of letters, Wolf describes her concerns-- and hopes-- about how digital...

Countless books have been written about the process of healing the brain from traumatic situations.

Scientist Olympia LePoint defines a new structure of the brain, called the Triabrain and...

This is a book about math and physics and how biology and psychology come directly from them. In physics we will cover Newtonian Mechanics, Gravitational Waves, Special Relativity, Electromagnetism, Orbitals, Quantum Mechanics, Multiverses, the Calabi-Yau manifold as a template for the brain and we will also cover Topology. They will be straightforward as well as mathematically rigorous. Imagination will help get rid of mysticism and there are Layman's...

Mind Code describes how we know the world we live in and how language and semantics shape this knowledge by influencing the way we think, feel, and behave - how we relate to that world and to others. Mind Code puts life as we know it into a coherent, systematic perspective that explains functional relations and processes across biological organisms, natural language, brains, and the physical world. The concept of a mind code comes from deciphering...
