{"product_id":"the-integrated-mind-9780306310850","title":"The Integrated Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book we are trying to illuminate the persistent and nag ging questions of how mind  life  and the essence of being relate to brain mechanisms. We do that not because we have a commit ment to bear witness to the boring issue of reductionism but be cause we want to know more about what its all about. How  in deed  does the brain work? How does it allow us to love  hate  see  cry  suffer  and ultimately understand Keplers laws? We try to uncover clues to these staggering questions by con sidering the results of our studies on the bisected brain. Several years back  one of us wrote a book with that title  and the ap proach was to describe how brain and behavior are affected when one takes the brain apart. In the present book  we are ready to put it back together  and go beyond  for we feel that split-brain studies are now at the point of contributing to an understanding of the workings of the integrated mind. We are grateful to Dr. Donald Wilson of the Dartmouth Medi cal School for allowing us to test his patients. We would also like to thank our past and present colleagues  including Richard Naka mura  Gail Risse  Pamela Greenwood  Andy Francis  Andrea El berger  Nick Brecha  Lynn Bengston  and Sally Springer  who have been involved in various facets of the experimental studies on the bisected brain described in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652634304565,"sku":"ByrdShop_0306310856","price":162.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780306310850.jpg?v=1781852236","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-integrated-mind-9780306310850","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
