YOUR BRAIN IS A TIME MACHINE
THE NEUROSCIENCE AND PHYSICS OF TIME
DEAN BUONOMANO
u003cbu003e"Beautifully written, eloquently reasoned Mr. Buonomano takes us off and running on an edifying scientific journey." Carol Tavris, u003ciu003eWall Street Journalu003c/iu003e u003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cpu003eIn u003ciu003eYour Brain Is a Time Machineu003c/iu003e, leading neuroscientist Dean Buonomano embarks on an "immensely engaging" exploration of how time works inside the brain (Barbara Kiser, u003ciu003eNatureu003c/iu003e). The human brain, he argues, is a complex system that not only tells time, but creates it; it constructs our sense of chronological movement and enables "mental time travel"simulations of future and past events. These functions are essential not only to our daily lives but to the evolution of the human race: without the ability to anticipate the future, mankind would never have crafted tools or invented agriculture. This virtuosic work of popular science will lead you to a revelation as strange as it is true: your brain is, at its core, a time machine.u003c/pu003e
