Neurologic : the brain's hidden rationale behind our irrational behavior / by Sternberg, Eliezer J.(CARDINAL)482369;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Our unconscious logic -- What do the blind see when they dream? -- Can zombies drive to work? -- Can your imagination make you a better athlete? -- Can we remember things that never happened? -- Why do people believe in alien abductions? -- Why do schizophrenics hear voices? -- Can someone be hypnotized to commit murder? -- Why can't split personalities share prescription glasses? -- Appendix: Maps of the brain.From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strange thoughts and behaviors. From the outside, these phenomena are written off as being just zcrazy,y but what if they were actually planned and logical? NeuroLogic explores the brains internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths to conscious decision-making, and how it explains our most outlandish as well as our most stereotyped behaviors. Drawing on current research in neuroscience and fascinating neurological cases, Eliezer J. Sternberg explores questions such as: · What do the blind see when they dream? · Why do people believe in alien abductions? · Why do schizophrenics hear voices? From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fans to false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, youll find that theres a pattern to the way the brain interprets the worlda pattern that fits the brains unique logic. Unraveling this pattern and the various ways it can be disturbed will alter not only our view of mental illness and supernatural experience but also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves.

The man who mistook his wife for a hat and other clinical tales / by Sacks, Oliver,1933-2015,author.(CARDINAL)347933;
"Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with perceptual and intellectual disorders: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; whose limbs seem alien to them; who lack some skills yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. In Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling, his patients are deeply human and his tales of struggles against incredible adversity. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicine's ultimate responsibility: ٢the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject.٣-- Page 4 of cover.Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-286) and index.part 1.
