En este volumen, Grinberg explora con profundidad las intersecciones entre las funciones cerebrales y las experiencias chamánicas, basándose en los postulados de su teoría sintérgica. Con una mirada rigurosa pero abierta y sensible, plantea que la realidad no es una entidad fija, sino una construcción perceptual moldeada por la conciencia, una idea que pone en diálogo a la neurociencia con la sabiduría ancestral de los pueblos indígenas.

Larry S. Sherman, a neuroscientist and lifelong musician, and Dennis Plies, a professional musician and teacher, collaborate to show how our brains and music work in harmony. They consider music in all the ways we encounter it—teaching, learning, practicing, listening, composing, improvising, and performing—in terms of neuroscience as well as music pedagogy, showing how the brain functions and even changes in the process. Every Brain Needs Music draws on leading behavioral, cellular, and molecular neuroscience research as well as surveys of more than a hundred musical people.

A new epidemic is sweeping the country. Some people call it ADHD, scatter brain, or brain fog. Some simply say they just don't feel like themselves - and haven't for a long time. People are thinking and feeling worse than ever. Why? Because our brains are not getting the support they need to produce the essential brain chemicals that keep us energized, calm, focused, and inspired.

As humans, we think in stories—stories that allow us to feel and share emotions. In order for this phenomenon to work, our brains and the ways in which we tell stories must be attuned to each other. But how exactly does this happen? Tapping into the essence of thinking in stories, Fritz Breithaupt draws on the latest scientific research, including a retelling study (comparable to the telephone game) with more than 12,000 participants, and experiments in which ChatGPT functions as storyteller.

Mieux se connaître grâce aux neurosciences. Pourquoi croyons-nous souvent avoir raison lorsque nous avons tort ? Pourquoi sommes-nous terrorisés par une toute petite araignée inoffensive ? Pourquoi avons-nous peur de parler en public alors qu'aucun danger ne nous guette ? Pourquoi nous laissons-nous avoir par les infox? Face à un réel multiple et complexe, nous sommes sujets à l'approximation, à l'illusion et à l'erreur. Ces mécanismes cérébraux nous permettent de construire une vision cohérente du monde.

When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? The Cost of Conviction contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism, the former, or prioritizing one's sacred values, the latter. Steven Sloman argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues.

Does it ever feel like there's a hypercritical, negative voice inside your head, telling you that you aren't good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, or worthy of success or love? Negative self-talk is all too common, especially for women. This inner critic originally served an important evolutionary purpose—to ensure survival. The problem is, this voice can be difficult to "switch off," leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. So, how can you move past negative self-talk and start living with confidence?
