Motion sickness. Nightmares. Forgetting people's names. Why did I enter this room? Despite being impressive and highly advanced, the human brain has a fair amount of chaos, lacks order, and is prone to mistakes. In 'The Idiot Brain', neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates the flaws and imperfections of the human brain in all their glory, showcasing their impact on our daily lives. Based on original research and written in an entertaining and enjoyable style, this book is for anyone who has wondered why their own brain complicates and sabotages their life, pondering what is truly happening inside their head.
