Summary:
"
Chantel
Prat
is a professor at the University of Washington with appointments in the deparments of Psychology, Neuroscience and Linguistics ; with affilitations at the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences, and the Institute for Neuroengineering. With style and wit,
Chantel
Prat
takes us on a tour of the meaningful ways that our brains are dissimilar from one another. Using real-world examples, along with take-them-yourself tests and quizzes, she shows you how to identify the strengths and weakness of your own brain, while learning what might be going on in the brains of those who are unlike you. With sections like 'Focus,' 'Navigate,' and 'Connect,' 'The Neuroscience of You' helps us see how brains that are engineered differently ultimately take diverse paths when it comes time to prioritize information, use what they've learned from experience, relate to other people, and so much more. While other scientists focus on how the brain works 'on average,'
Prat
argues that our obsession with commonalities has slowed our progress toward understanding the very things that make each of us unique and interesting. Her field-leading research, employing cutting-edge technology, reveals the truth: Complicated as it may be, no two brains are alike. And individual differences in brain functioning are as pervasive as they are fundamental to defining what 'normal' looks like. Adages such as, 'I'm not wired that way' intuitively point to the fact that the brains we're piloting, educating, and parenting are wonderfully distinct, explaining a whole host of phenomena, from how easily a person might learn a second language in adulthood to whether someone feels curious or threatened when faced with new information. This book invites the reader to understand themselves and others by zooming in so close that we all look gray and squishy."--From publisher.
