notre cerveau a un analogue direct dans le cerveau des grands singes. Cependant, de récentes recherches ont identifié plusieurs zones si élaborées qu’au niveau fonctionnel (ou cognitif), elles peuvent être considérées comme nouvelles et uniques. J’ai déjà mentionné trois de ces zones : l’aire de Wernicke dans le lobe temporal gauche, le cortex

Contrary to many claims, there is an ongoing diminution of mental and perceptual capabilities rather than their expansion or modulation.

When we multitask, we overload the brain, and the processing shifts from the hippocampus, which enables us to remember and imagine, to the striatum, which is responsible for rote tasks.44 This makes it harder for us to learn a task or, after a period of multitasking, even to remember what we were doing.

If the brain is indeed reducing redundancy as Barlow suggests, then only a small number of neurons should be active at a time.

Dire que les lois universelles sont enracinées dans vos centres visuels ne nie par le rôle crucial de la culture et de l’expérience dans le façonnement de votre cerveau et de votre esprit.

Dr. Richard Davidson, who is one of the world’s most respected cognitive neuroscientists, and who helped create the entire field of what is now being called Contemplative Neuroscience, and who is the founder and chair of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, gave a Google Tech Talk in 2009 where he

The brain remains the single most sophisticated object in the known universe—by a staggering margin—even in an era of mobile devices, spacecraft, and particle accelerators. It outpaces our most powerful supercomputers, all within a volume measured in cubic inches, powered by nothing more than a fraction of the calories we consume each day. The
