Learning Inside Out: A Guide to What Goes on Inside the Brain as You Learn

Klappentext

Our brains are built to be constantly hungry for novelty. With novelty comes learning. As we experience life, we learn new skills and knowledge. Few people know exactly what goes on inside our heads as we journey through our experiences.This book presents in a simple and easy to understand manner the inside stories that explain the outside events. Each story explains the phenomenon that happens in our daily life by going inside to see what goes on in the brain as we experience life and acquire new knowledge. The explanations are based on evidence in neuroscience. The stories could be as simple as to explain on why you were not able to pay attention to the discussion than your friend sitting next to you. Or it could be as complex as why you simply could not lose that extra pounds despite all the effort, time and resources you spent.
