Override

Can you really rewire an adult brain? In Override, Caroline Williams goes on a mission to find out.



Volunteering herself as a guinea pig for top neuroscientists, Williams travels the world testing out brain training techniques that promise to affect real change: from improving on weaknesses such as her limited attention span, tendency to worry, and poor navigation skills, to more mysterious areas such as creativity and the perception of time.



From high-tech brain stimulation to meditation, adding bolt-on senses, and retraining stress response, Override is an intimate, fascinating journey into discovering what neuroscience can do for us — and what it can't.

Chiar poti sa reconectezi un creier adult? In Override, Caroline Williams merge intr-o misiune de a afla. Voluntandu-se ca porcusor de guineea pentru neurostiinti de top, Williams calatoreste in lume testand tehnici de antrenament cerebral care promit sa afecteze schimbarea reala: de la imbunatatirea punctelor slabe, cum ar fi durata ei limitata de atentie, tendinta de ingrijorare si abilitati slabe de navigatie, catre zone mai misterioase, cum ar fi creativitatea si perceptia timpului. De la stimularea creierului de inalta tehnologie la meditatie, adaugand simturi bolt-on si reeducarea raspunsului la stres, Override este o calatorie intima si fascinanta in descoperind ce poate face neurostiinta pentru noi - si ce nu.
