Robert Evan Ornstein Libri
Il lavoro di ampio respiro e multidisciplinare di Robert Ornstein approfondisce la natura della mente e del cervello umano. La sua ricerca pionieristica sulla lateralizzazione cerebrale ha fatto avanzare in modo significativo la nostra comprensione della cognizione. Attraverso i suoi libri, tradotti in numerose lingue e venduti in milioni di copie, mira a portare scoperte cruciali sulla natura umana al grande pubblico. Ha fondato l'Institute for the Study of Human Knowledge per diffondere queste intuizioni.
Synthesizes immunobiology, genetics, and psychology to illustrate the emotional and physical importance of pleasure and recommends ways to create positive attitudes that make life an affirmative experience
Robert E. Ornstein reexamines what is known about consciousness today & answers the question "What is consciousness?" thru a consideration of intuition & reason. He goes beyond the theory that creative impulses originate in the right side of the brain & rational impulses originate in the left side to show how a synthesis of these two functions can bring about "a more complete science of human consciousness with an extended conception of our own capabilities."
