To this age-old question, contemporary neuroscience gives a simple answer: we are exquisite neuronal machines. Each of our dreams, thoughts, and feelings arises from a pattern of activity in our brain. In Stanislas Dehaene’s \u003ci\u003eSeeing the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, we learn not only that the mind maps onto the brain, but that it is just a complex electrical motif on the tapestry of our neurons. In this richly illustrated and highly accessible book, Dehaene uses the power of brain images to tell the story of centuries-old efforts to understand who we are, and how it is possible that our thoughts emerge from just three pounds of flesh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeeing the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into one hundred topics, each described by a spectacular full-page color image and, on the facing page, a brief text that explains what this image means and why it matters. By weaving together images and text, the book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ebrings readers into the intimacy of their own brains. As Dehaene explains, “All the gorgeous biological processes that you are about to discover are taking place, right now, inside your own brain.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA modern cabinet of curiosities, \u003ci\u003eSeeing the Mind \u003c\/i\u003eis an intriguing and memorable read that\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ewill astonish readers with a direct, face-to-face meeting with themselves—and with the material stuff of their thoughts and dreams.Face to Face with Your Brain IX\u003cbr\u003eThe Pioneers 1\u003cbr\u003eThe New Maps of the Brain 27\u003cbr\u003eSeeing the Mind 49\u003cbr\u003eThe Emergence of Mind 97\u003cbr\u003eUnderstanding Human Singularity 139\u003cbr\u003eConsciousness: The New Frontier 161\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue: My Brain and I 187\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 189\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author 193\u003cbr\u003eNotes 195\u003cbr\u003eImage Credits 207\u003cbr\u003eIndex 215“Think of an exceptional museum of science that delights the eye, sparks one’s curiosity, and inspires its visitors to learn more. Now imagine a work of art and science with these qualities that does not reside in a building but in a book, and that does not carry us outward—back to prehistory, or out to the far reaches of the universe—but inward, into our minds: the seat of our myriad actions, thoughts, and experiences.  Stanislas Dehaene celebrates the human mind in a book of glorious images of the organ in which it resides, the human brain. His single-page essays, accompanying the images he has curated, are as beautiful as they are clear.  \u003ci\u003eSeeing the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of human creation and imagination.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Elizabeth S.
