Product Description: "Mind vs Brain" by Svyatoslav Medvedev
Dive into the enigmatic world of the human brain with "Mind vs Brain," a captivating exploration by Svyatoslav Medvedev, a distinguished neuro- and psychophysiologist. As the founder and long-time director of the Institute of the Human Brain of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Medvedev has dedicated his life to understanding the most mysterious object in the universe: the human brain.
This book unravels profound questions: How do emotions arise? Can love be triggered by brain manipulation? What does the "percentage of brain usage" really mean? Why does creativity extend life? Medvedev also shares findings from his groundbreaking studies on Tibetan Buddhist monks, exploring altered states of consciousness during meditation. Can the brain truly comprehend itself? Does it obey the fundamental laws of nature?
Medvedev, an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and son of the renowned Natalya Bekhtereva, has achieved significant results in mapping the brain’s support for higher mental functions like attention, memory, and cognition. His recent work includes pioneering research on meditative states, leading to the establishment of two Russian laboratories in Tibetan monasteries in southern India in 2019, initiated by the 14th Dalai Lama. A member of international physiological societies and recipient of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland medal and the Bekhtereva Gold Medal, Medvedev offers a unique perspective on the mind-brain connection.
