Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El cerebro se ha convertido en el centro de explicación de los asuntos humanos. De pronto, es como si todo dependiera del cerebro y no fuéramos más que un montón de neuronas. La neurociencia ha llegado a ser la ciencia reina, con la complicidad de las ciencias sociales, de las humanidades y de la filosofía. La cultura popular ha asumido el cerebrocentrismo como lo más natural. La divulgación neurocientífica, ya todo un género literario, no hace sino alimentar esta tendencia. Pero ¿obligan los métodos y hallazgos en el estudio del cerebro a pensar de esta manera? ¿El mayor conocimiento que se tiene hoy del cerebro se corresponde con un mayor y mejor conocimiento de asuntos como, valga por caso, los trastornos psicológicos, el yo, la libertad, el amor, la ética, la justicia, la economía, etc.? ¿No será, después de todo, el cerebrocentrismo una moda, un mito y una ideología? Este libro, que aquí presentamos en su segunda edición, plantea estas cuestiones y, así, desenmascara las seducciones neurocientíficas debidas a sus métodos y hallazgos (en particular, neuroimágenes), critica los usos que se hacen del cerebro en la explicación de los asuntos humanos y ofrece una alternativa en términos del trinomio cuerpo-conducta-cultura. La plasticidad cerebral, según la cual el cerebro es capaz de modificarse a resultas de la experiencia, viene a mostrar que, más que de las neuronas, dependemos de la conducta y la cultura y, para el caso, del alma, según Aristóteles, consistente en las acciones que conforman la vida de los organismos.

Book excerpt: Cenicienta de la Psicología, como la describe en su introducción AN-BAL PUENTE FERRERAS, profesor de Psicología de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, la creatividad resulta uno de los fenómenos más incómodos de estudiar y manejar para las distintas escuelas de la disciplina, que tienden a evitar este término o bien a disfrazarlo. Organizado en seis capítulos, cada uno de los cuales gira en torno a un aspecto del proceso de la creación, EL CEREBRO CREADOR realiza una rigurosa y completa puesta al día del estado y desarrollo de las investigaciones en torno al mismo, desarmando al mismo tiempo varios mitos a él vinculados, como su excepcionalidad o parquedad, su vinculación a un talento especial o su carácter personal.

Download or read book Ni s hiper written by José Ramón Ubieto Pardo and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los adultos estamos colonizando la infancia de manera acelerada por la vía de lo híper: infancias hiperactivas, hipersexualizadas, hiperconectadas... Queremos que sean como nosotros: emprendedores, con una identidad sexual clara, dominadores de varios idiomas y creativos. Idolatramos la autoestima, elogiándolos indiscriminadamente como si ya fueran geniales por el simple hecho de ser niños, a menudo origen de egos inflados de narcisismo. Y, al mismo tiempo, los queremos controlados y evaluables en sus resultados. ¿No estaremos privándoles del tiempo propio de la infancia, aquel que Freud reservaba para comprender qué significa hacerse mayor? ¿O de los entornos facilitadores de desarrollo a los que aludía Skinner? ¿Cómo seguir siendo interlocutores válidos para esta infancia del siglo XXI? Este libro está dirigido a un amplio público de madres y padres, docentes y profesionales.

Download or read book Generating Talent written by José Antonio Marina and published by CONECTA. This book was released on 2016-11-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generating Talent: How to Put Intelligence to Work develops an innovative model that explains the generation of talent as intelligence acting in a way that is suitable, brilliant and efficient. It reveals how it is generated not only in individuals, but in organizations and societies as well. « This is an optimistic book. Not optimistic with the slightly flaccid optimism of self-help books that promise us all that we can become instant millionaires, but optimistic because it describes how neuroscience shows our capacities to be even greater than previously thought. » José Antonio Marina Every year, countless studies are published which measure the talent contained in organizations, countries, and even entire economies. Unfortunately, in José Antonia Marina's opinion, all these studiescontain errors in their approach. Talent is mentioned as though it were a rare and valuable gem that needs to be fought for. It doesn't matter if you are talking about the world of business or football: the important thing is to sign the best. The author argues that this old-fashioned idea, that a particular resource is like a cake we all must share, is the antithesis to a creative vision of intelligence, capable of invention and of amplifying our possibilities, our wealth and our talent. José Antonio Marina offers us in Talent Generation tips on how to think better, feel better, make better decisions and implement them with more determination. This is the journey that the reader will take through this book.

Book excerpt: The History of the Synapse provides a history of those discoveries concerning the identification and function of synapses that provide the foundations for research during this new century with a personal view of the process by which new concepts have developed. Previously published as essays, the chapters in this book provide a history of various aspects of synaptic function, beginning with the evolution over two and a half thousand years and how progress was made in the establishment of a conceptual structure that would allow the synapse to be identified at the beginning of the 20th century. Numerous illustrations explain either the technical approach or the experimental finding.

Download or read book Crossfire written by Roberta Johnson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marriage of philosophy and fiction in the first third of Spain's twentieth century was a fertile one. It produced some truly notable offspring -- novels that cross genre boundaries to find innovative forms, and treatises that fuse literature and philosophy in new ways. In her illuminating interdisciplinary study of Spanish fiction of the "Silver Age," Roberta Johnson places this important body of Spanish literature in context through a synthesis of social, literary, and philosophical history. Her examination of the work of Miguel de Unamuno, Pio Baroja, Azorin, Ramon Perez de Ayala, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Gabriel Miro, Pedro Salinas, Rosa Chacel, and Benjamin Jarnes brings to light philosophical frictions and debates and opens new interpersonal and intertextual perspectives on many of the period's most canonical novels. Johnson reformulates the traditional discussion of generations and "isms" by viewing the period as an intergenerational complex in which writers with similar philosophical and personal interests constituted dynamic groupings that interacted and constantly defined and redefined one another. Current narratological theories, including those of Todorov, Genette, Bakhtin, and Martinez Bonati, assist in teasing out the intertextual maneuvers and philosophical conflicts embedded in the novels of the period, while the sociological and biographical material bridges the philosophical and literary analyses. The result, solidly grounded in original archival research, is a convincingly complete picture of Spain's intellectual world in the first thirty years of this century. Crossfire should revolutionize thinking about the Generation of '98 and the Generation of '14 by identifying the heterogeneous philosophical sources of each and the writers' reactions to them in fiction.

A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.
