书籍简介：

A groundbreaking investigation of the brain’s hidden logic behind our strangest behaviors, and of how conscious and unconscious systems interact in order to create our experience and preserve our sense of self. From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strange thoughts and behaviors. When observed from the outside, these phenomena are often written off as being just “crazy,” but what if they were actually planned and logical? NeuroLogic explores the brain’s internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths to conscious decision making, and illuminates how it explains our most outlandish as well as our most stereotyped behaviors. From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fans to false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, Dr. Eliezer Sternberg shows that there are patterns to the way the brain interprets the world—–patterns that fit the brain’s unique logic. Unraveling these patterns and the various ways they can be disturbed will not only alter our view of mental illness and supernatural experience, but will also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves.

书友短评：

@ 滕子京 非常有趣力荐。行为经济学里许多模式，比如思考快与慢里两条通路，都可以在神经科学找到更底层的原因。作者专业技术扎实，举的例子又都极吸引人，话题包括：僵尸如何混入社会，精神病人脑内声音来自哪，濒死/宗教体验幻觉从哪来，梵高脑子不正常，Ellen戒烟，平克佛洛伊德在歌词里暴露了精神分裂，准备二刷 @ 爱董比利 虽然还原主义气息比较强，但覆盖全面，对催眠、幻觉、代偿等的解释都比较有力。案例很有趣。 @ 北冥之鱼 读起来挺有趣~总结了作者觉得正确的neuroscience研究方向（intertwined conscious & unconscious）中的各个案例及它们涉及到的著名实验。还蛮convincing的。 @ barrstroud handbook teeming with "abnormal" cortex @ つどせ 这本书太好玩了 @ つどせ 这本书太好玩了 @ barrstroud handbook teeming with "abnormal" cortex @ Tempy Kimo 悬疑般充满张力的科普书，到Evelyn的病例时达到阅读趣味的峰值。力推。 @ 北冥之鱼 读起来挺有趣~总结了作者觉得正确的neuroscience研究方向（intertwined conscious & unconscious）中的各个案例及它们涉及到的著名实验。还蛮convincing的。 @ 爱董比利 虽然还原主义气息比较强，但覆盖全面，对催眠、幻觉、代偿等的解释都比较有力。案例很有趣。
