Description
In Your Brain Is a Time Machine, Dean Buonomano invites readers on an intriguing exploration of the interplay between the brain and our perception of time. Drawing upon the latest findings in neuroscience, Buonomano skillfully elucidates how our cognitive processes not only shape our understanding of the present but also allow us to navigate the past and anticipate the future.
The Story
Through a blend of scientific insight and engaging narrative, the author delves into the mechanisms of memory, perception, and consciousness. He addresses profound questions: How do we experience the flow of time? In what ways do our memories distort our sense of chronology? Buonomano's compelling prose takes readers on a journey through the intricate workings of the mind, revealing how our brains function as sophisticated time machines.
