Including a chapter by 2014 Nobel laureates May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser
An unprecedented look at the quest to unravel the mysteries of the human brain, "The Future of the Brain" takes readers to the absolute frontiers of science. Original essays by leading researchers such as Christof Koch, George Church, Olaf Sporns, and May-Britt and Edvard Moser describe the spectacular technological advances that will enable us to map the more than eighty-five billion neurons in the brain, as well as the challenges that lie ahead in understanding the anticipated deluge of data and the prospects for building working simulations of the human brain. A must-read for anyone trying to understand ambitious new research programs such as the Obama administration s BRAIN Initiative and the European Union s Human Brain Project, "The Future of the Brain" sheds light on the breathtaking implications of brain science for medicine, psychiatry, and even human consciousness itself.

Описание: Using no math beyond high school algebra, the authors lay out an approachable explanation of Einstein`s special relativity, then move through the fundamental differences between traveling forward and backward in time and the surprising theoretical connection between going back in time and traveling faster than the speed of light.
Описание: Contains several contributions on the subject of worlds, cultures and society. This title represents the proceedings of several workshops and discussion panels organized by the Leo Apostel Center for Interdisciplinary studies within the framework of the Research on the Construction of Integrating Worldviews research community.
Описание: The phenomenon of consciousness includes mysterious aspects providing a basis for many spiritual doctrines and psychological practices. These directions of human knowledge are considered to contradict the laws of science. Quantum mechanics allows us to include the phenomena of consciousness and life and relevant phenomena in the sphere of science.
