Наука о сне. Кто познает тайну сна – познает тайну мозга!
На протяжении многих лет человек интересовался происхождением снов. В своей книге М. Жуве рассказывает, как рождаются сновидения, какая взаимосвязь существует между сном и бодрствованием и как она привела его к открытию «парадоксального сна» – состояния, при котором мозг проявляет чрезвычайную активность. Именно в этот момент очень ясно работает наше сознание. Чтобы его понять, автор обращается к опыту философов – среди них Локк, Гегель, Кант, Юм, Гуссерль, а говоря о подсознании, вспоминает Фрейда. В завершении М. Жуве описывает новые исследования, направленные на изучение возможностей мозга – главной тайны человека, которую еще никому не удалось разгадать.

Чи сняться зомбі воскреслі вівці? Нейронауковий погляд на мозок зомбі
Як функціонує мозок під час сну та неспання? Які нейронні системи контролюють рух? Якою є природа чуттєвого сприйняття? Пролити світло на основні питання нейронауки нам допоможе дует відомих американських неврологів. Але дізнаєтеся ви про це в дуже незвичний спосіб – за допомогою зомбі. Кожен розділ спирається на популярну зомбі-культуру та визначає характерну поведінку зомбі, яку можна пояснити за допомогою нейроанатомії, нейрофізіології та взаємовідносин мозку та поведінки. Буде і страшно, і цікаво… Буде страшенно цікаво!
