Based on the latest research, Mariano Sigman's The Secret Life of the Mind offers a revolutionary vision of the role of neuroscience in our lives, revealing the mysterious processes that take place in the brain and determine how we learn, think, feel and dream. After twenty years of research into the inner workings of the human brain, Dr. Sigman maintains a unique perspective. Using the achievements of physics, linguistics, psychology, pedagogy and other disciplines, he tries to explain why people who speak several languages ??are less likely to develop dementia, how newborns, before they can speak, distinguish between good and evil, as well as how to "read" thoughts patients in a vegetative state, deciphering indicators of their brain activity.
