tailieunhanh - The Body Has A Mind Of Its Own

Stand up and reach out your arms, fingers extended. Wave them up, down, and sideways. Make great big circles from over your head down past your thighs. Swing each leg out as far as you can, and with the tips of your toes trace arcs on the ground around you. Swivel and tilt your head as if you were craning out your neck to butt something with your forehead or touch it with your lips and tongue. This invisible volume of space around your body out to arm’s length—what neuroscientists call peripersonal space—is part of you | THE BODY HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee RANDOM HOUSE TRADE PAPERBACKS THE BODY HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN How Body Maps in 1ỎÍỂT Brain Help IfQUDữ Bieryí ờụr Better . 1ÃN0QN HCUÍS ra ÀŨK l-APE fl ACES NSW rats SANDRA BLAKESLEE and MATTHEW BLAKESLEE CONTENTS TITLE PAGE DEDICATION EPIGRAPH INTRODUCTION The Embodied Brain CHAPTER 1 The Body Mandala or Maps Maps Everywhere CHAPTER 2 The Little Man in the Brain or Why Your Genitals Are Even Smaller Than You Think CHAPTER 3 Dueling Body Maps or Why You Still Feel Fat After Losing Weight CHAPTER 4 The Homunculus in the Game or When Thinking Is as Good as Doing CHAPTER 5 Plasticity Gone Awry or When Body Maps Go Blurry CHAPTER 6 Broken Body Maps or Why Dr. Strangelove Couldn t Keep His Hand Down CHAPTER 7 The Bubble Around the Body or Why You Seek Elbow Room CHAPTER 8 Sticks and Stones and Cyberbones or The End of the Body as We Know It CHAPTER 9 Mirror Mirror or Why Yawning Is Contagious CHAPTER 10 Heart of the Mandala or My Insula Made Me Do It AFTERWORD The You-ness of You ACKNOWLEDGMENTS GLOSSARY ILLUSTRATION CREDITS ABOUT THE AUTHORS PRAISE FOR THE BODY HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN .
