“We’re at an unprecedented moment in history, one in which brain science and technology are co-evolving, what happens at this intersection is poised to change who we are.”
My travel companion this week. Great book about the brain. Starts off quite simple but goes into all the crazy possibilities. Not only does it explain the basics, but provides technical explanation of why social rejection “hurts”, how coding empathy might be possible, and where all the crazy hacking of our hardware(physical body) and software (genes, etc) might lead to.
超棒的一本大腦科學書，一週內坐車坐捷運吃飯就聽完了。真希望有人能把它翻成中文讓更多人讀！人類史上第一次腦部研究與科技研究並進，讀完就更了解人腦的奇妙和人為什麼常常莫名其妙。話說IoT與智慧城市也就是在模擬人腦的極簡陋版啊～
最後作者還提到莊子的“莊周夢蝶”。照現在把人的硬體(肉身，感官，腦神經)和軟體(Genome, DNA, .etc)分別研究， 莊子抽離的情境還真是說對了！身為我，到底是這軟硬體的組成還是更多？什麼是認知？什麼是思想？
《莊子·齊物論》：「昔者莊周夢為胡蝶，栩栩然胡蝶也，自喻適志與！不知周也。俄然覺，則蘧蘧然周也。不知周之夢為胡蝶與，胡蝶之夢為周與？周與胡蝶，則必有分矣。此之謂物化。」
