Vilayanur Ramachandran om forstanden

Med tre overraskende illusjoner som eksempler forteller Vilayanur Ramachandran hva hjerneskader kan avsløre om sammenhengen mellom hjernevevet og forstanden.

The hidden wiring of the brain shapes everything from recognition to creativity, as shown by rare conditions like the Capgras delusion and phantom limb pain. A patient might see his mother’s face yet insist she is an impostor, or feel agonizing pain in a missing arm. By tracing these selective deficits to precise brain circuits, surprising treatments—like a three-dollar mirror box—can help rewire perception, revealing just how deeply the brain’s structure creates our sense of self.
