Sobre este áudio

A radically new cosmological view from a groundbreaking neuroscientist placing the human brain at the center of humanity’s universe

Renowned neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis introduces listeners to a revolutionary new theory of how the human brain evolved to become an organic computer without rival in the known universe.

Nicolelis undertakes the first attempt to explain the entirety of human history, culture, and civilization based on a series of recently uncovered key principles of brain function. This new cosmology is centered around three fundamental properties of the human brain: its insurmountable malleability to adapt and learn; its exquisite ability to allow multiple individuals to synchronize their minds around a task, goal, or belief; and its incomparable capacity for abstraction.

Combining insights from such diverse fields as neuroscience, mathematics, evolution, computer science, physics, history, art, and philosophy, Nicolelis presents a neurobiologically based manifesto for the uniqueness of the human mind and a cautionary tale of the threats that technology poses to present and future generations.

Narration is excellent. Even though I disagree with several points (digital processing in brain, EM loops of solenoids inducing current on neighboring axons, he needs to understand that: 1) Neurons are not only excitatory! 2) Analog summation of dendrites occur before axonal action potential!) and wish he explored more topics on neuromorphic computing, quantum biosensing (only teaser on magneto receptor), motor neuronal interface in BCI; he covers a lot of ground on NS, Information Theory, Computer Science, Philosophy, Anthropology and Physics. Later in the book, too much irrelevant historical fillers and dense story telling not much ado about anything. At the end of the day, I'm not sure if he understands the concept of analog computing - which is central to his argumentation. In his human brain argument for the wave function collapse, he "tripped on the Mayonnaise" is the saying in Portuguese.
