Neuromythology. What Do We Really Know About the Brain and What Do We Not Know About It

Neuromythology. What Do We Really Know About the Brain and What Do We Not Know About It

«Neuromythology» — an exemplary popular science study that aims to sort through the heap of various contemporary neuro works. This book seeks to answer the question: why have we started to scan the brain non-stop and what do we hope... to find there?

• Neurotheology, neuroeconomics, neuro law, neuroesthetics... what other disciplines have already emerged, and which ones are waiting for us in the coming years?
• The book aims to show that the didactic aplomb of the neurosciences is disproportionate to their actual cognitive ability; loud predictions and theories balance on a very thin foundation of reliable empirical data, and only the growing mass of freely interpreted results prevents them from collapsing.
• Why, even with all the modern brain research, can we still not recognize lies and identify psychopaths among ordinary people?
