¿Cuál es el sentido biológico del arte?¿Por qué el ser humano invierte tanto tiempo en crear obras bellas y placenteras para nuestro espíritu? Las primeras muestras conocidas de pintura figurativa se remontan a unos 30.000 años atrás y, antes de la pintura, nuestros antepasados ya realizaban esculturas con forma humana. De modo que desde hace miles de años, los humanos expresan en un soporte material, como una roca o un lienzo, unas imágenes que reproducen su percepción de la realidad, una versión propia y personal del mundo que los rodea. Este mundo se construye a través de un lenguaje cuya gramática se basa en una rica y compleja combinación de patrones y formas, de colores y luz, y cuyo resultado nos revela la psicología del artista. Emprender el camino inverso e investigar las pautas del cerebro artístico, las características neuronales del artista, aquello que permite a su cerebro reproducir una realidad subjetiva del mundo que nos rodea, es trabajo de la neurociencia. Este libro es una introducción accesible a lo que la neurociencia ha descubierto sobre diversos aspectos de la neurobiología de la actividad artística humana. Estos datos defienden que el arte, como reflejo del funcionamiento de la mente del ser humano, desvela aspectos fundamentales de la neurobiología y que la apreciación artística surge de la actividad cerebral. Nos gusta el arte porque es un producto de nuestro cerebro y esta consideración nos ayuda a reflexionar acerca de las construcciones culturales que derivan en lo que consideramos obras de arte, con todas las implicaciones sociales que esto conlleva.
A User's Guide to the Brain
John Ratey, bestselling author and clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, lucidly explains the human brain’s workings, and paves the way for a better understanding of how the brain affects who we are. Ratey provides insight into the basic structure and chemistry of the brain, and demonstrates how its systems shape our perceptions, emotions, and behavior. By giving us a greater understanding of how the brain responds to the guidance of its user, he provides us with knowledge that can enable us to improve our lives. In A User’s Guide to the Brain, Ratey clearly and succinctly surveys what scientists now know about the brain and how we use it. He looks at the brain as a malleable organ capable of improvement and change, like any muscle, and examines the way specific motor functions might be applied to overcome neural disorders ranging from everyday shyness to autism. Drawing on examples from his practice and from everyday life, Ratey illustrates that the most important lesson we can learn about our brains is how to use them to their maximum potential.
The Haunted Computer and the Android Pope
Rejoice in the strange and the ordinary in this contemplative collection of poetry from the celebrated author of Fahrenheit 451. One of the most well-known figures in modern fantasy and science fiction, often credited for heralding the genre into the mainstream, Ray Bradbury delights readers time and time again with writing that pushes the boundaries of reality. In this outstanding collection, Bradbury delivers poem after poem full of hope, fear, philosophy and faith. As in his work of speculative fiction, Bradbury’s unique perspective on humanity graces every page. From technology to Ty Cobb, strawberry shortcake and death, this selection delivers some of Bradbury’s best. Some of his most beloved poetry, including “They Have Not Seen the Stars,” “This Attic Where the Meadow Greens,” “There Are No Ghosts in Catholic Spain,” “Farewell Summer,” “Once the Years Were Numerous and the Funerals Few,” “Doing Is Being,” and “We Are The Reliquaries of Lost Time,” is featured. Humorous, thoughtful, and every bit as out of this world as readers have come to expect from the legend, this is a must-have for collectors and new readers alike. “Let us now praise Ray Bradbury, the uncrowned poet laureate of science fiction.”—The Times
