Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I really like that this book debunks a lot of the crap "science" out there relating to fMRI. However I dislike that the authors use crap sociological "science" experiments to bolster their arguments. ( ) Good book about the over-hyping of neuroscience. The authors recognize that the last few decades have seen wonderful and meaningful advances in brain imaging and other techniques. But various parties have latched on to the pretty fMRI pictures and have turned them into gimmicks to sell products and advocate beliefs without scientific justification. This is a pretty low level explanation of current neuroscience. However, it demonstrates, much to my delight, that elementary logic and understanding of simple statistical and scientific principles allows any well-educated person to understand the misuse of scientific research and the overgeneralization the popular press often applies to scientific results. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

In recent years, the advent of MRI technology seems to have unlocked the secrets of the human mind, revealing the sources of our deepest desires, intentions, and fears. In this book, the authors argue that the explanatory power of brain scans in particular and neuroscience more generally has been vastly overestimated. Although acknowledging its tremendous potential, they believe that the overzealous application of the burgeoning field of brain science has put innocent people in jail, prevented addicts from healing themselves, and undermined notions of free will and responsibility.
