“[ Buonomano] lays out the latest, best theories about how we understand time, illuminating a fundamental aspect of being human.”— New York

The brain—the most complex dynamical system in the known universe—tells, represents, and perceives time in multiple ways. In this virtuosic work of popular science, neuroscientist and best-selling author Dean Buonomano investigates the intricate relationship between the brain and time: What is time? Why does time seem to speed up or slow down? Is our sense that time flows an illusion? Buonomano presents his own influential theory of how the brain tells time, and he illuminates such concepts as free will, consciousness, spacetime, and relativity from the perspective of a neuroscientist. Drawing on physics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Your Brain Is a Time Machine reveals that the brain’s ultimate purpose may be to predict the future, and thus that your brain is a time machine.

Recenzijas

"Our experience of time is not the same as time itself; the former is largely our creation. French philosopher Henri Bergson once publicly debated this point with Einstein and lost. If only hed had recourse to this book, written by one of the first neuroscientists to ask how the human brain encodes time. Take that, Albert!" -- Science books were keen to read in 2017 - New Scientist "... a readable exploration of how the architecture of the human brain shapes our understanding of the nature of time." -- The Bookseller "Apparently elastic and possibly illusory, time is a puzzle to physicists and neuroscientists alike. Dean Buonomano straddles the divide, invoking cutting-edge theory and research as he wrestles with the often glaring mismatch between physical and 'felt' time. The result is immensely engaging..." -- Nature "Buonomanos ambition is inspiring and his writing is rich, combining a readable style with illustrative examples... it [ Your Brain is a Time Machine] hits the ambitious target of being both thorough and accessible." -- Chemistry World "... nothing if not an entertaining read." -- Nature Physics

Dean Buonomano is a professor of neurobiology and psychology at UCLA and a leading theorist on the neuroscience of time. His previous book, Brain Bugs: How the Brains Flaws Shape Our Lives, was a Wall Street Journal bestseller.
