Articoli correlati a Star Trek on the Brain: Alien Minds, Human Minds
It's the twenty-third century, and something has gone terribly wrong. A transporter mishap has cleaved Captain Kirk in two, leaving the U.S.S. Enterprise in the unsteady hands of both the rash and impulsive Kirk I and the meek and indecisive Kirk II. In neurological terms, the accident has damaged the Captain's prefrontal cortex, a part of the brain that stores memories crucial to decision making. ("The Enemy Within" from the original Star Trek series).
Such is the stuff of Robert Sekuler and Randolph Blake's splicing of Star Trek and up-to-date research in psychology and neuroscience in Star Trek on the Brain. The authors' continuing mission: to boldly lead an expedition through the brain and the mind, using anecdotes from Star Trek movies and episodes of the original Star Trek series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager.

Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Written in a style similar to the best-selling Physics of Star Trek, Star Trek On The Brain explores the customs, cognition and behaviour of the characters from the Star Trek films and episodes from the original Star Trek series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Sekuler and Blake, psychologists and Trekkers, use Star Trek stories to describe the relationship between the mind and the brain, the complex connections between emotion and reason, the workings of the senses and the changeability of the brain. Equipped with a glossary of the main characters and a list of episodes discussed, this book is for inveterate Trekkers and Star Trek novices alike. Preface.- Star Trek on the Brain.- Why Spock Can Cry but Data Cannot.- Sex, Memes, and Videotapes.- Klingons will be Klingons.- What Geordi Saw and What Quark Heard.- Even Starship Captains Get Amnesia.- Disordered Brains, Disordered Minds.- Today's Brain, Tomorrow's Mind.- Who's Who and What's What: A Glossary of Characters.- Star Trek Episodes Mentioned in this Book.- Notes.- Index. In englischer Sprache. 244 pages. Codice articolo 221439
