An exploration of how perception, thought, and action are products of maps etched into your brain-and how technology can use them to read your mind.
Your brain is a collection of maps. That is no metaphor: scrawled across your brain's surfaces are actual maps of the sights, sounds, and actions that hold the key to your survival. Scientists first began uncovering these maps over a century ago, but we are only now beginning to unlock their secrets-and comprehend their profound impact on our lives. Brain maps distort our experience of the world, shape how we think and imagine, and open the door to mind-reading technologies. Their idiosyncrasies shine a light on our past and offer clues to our possible futures. In
Brainscapes, Rebecca Schwarzlose combines unforgettable real-life stories, cutting-edge research, and vivid illustrations to reveal brain maps' surprising lessons about our place in the world-and about the world's place within us.
