Présentation de l'éditeur
"... a readable exploration of how the architecture of the human brain shapes our understanding of the nature of time." The Bookseller
"Time" is the most common noun in the English language yet philosophers and scientists don't agree about what time actually is or how to define it. Perhaps this is because the brain tells, represents and perceives time in multiple ways.
Dean Buonomano investigates the relationship between the brain and time, looking at what time is, why it seems to speed up or slow down and whether our sense that time flows is an illusion. Buonomano presents his theory of how the brain tells time, and illuminates such concepts as free will, consciousness, space-time and relativity from the perspective of a neuroscientist. Drawing on physics, evolutionary biology and philosophy, he reveals that the brain's ultimate purpose may be to predict the future and thus that your brain is a time machine.
Revue de presse
"Our experience of time is not the same as time itself; the former is largely our creation. French philosopher Henri Bergson once publicly debated this point with Einstein and lost. If only he'd had recourse to this book, written by one of the first neuroscientists to ask how the human brain encodes time. Take that, Albert!" --New Scientist
"...invoking cutting-edge theory and research...[Dean Buonomano] wrestles with the often glaring mismatch between physical and "felt" time. The result is immensely engaging..." --Nature
"Your Brain is a Time Machine is nothing if not an entertaining read - and Buonomano is an engaging speaker, in case your paths ever cross."
--Nature Physics
"Buonomano's ambition is inspiring and his writing is rich, combining a readable style with illustrative examples."
