Investigations of biological/physical basis for things like what blind people see when they dream, why imagination can help you be a better athlete (etc.), why schizophrenics hear voices (they have a difficulty with recognizing their own voices that has an apparent genetic basis; we are all actually subvocalizing our thoughts, but schizophrenics can hear those subvocalizations without recognizing their source, and, searching for an understandable explanation, conclude that someone else is talking to them), and why people believe in alien abductions (sleep paralysis is involved).

HTML:A groundbreaking investigation of the brain??s hidden logic behind our strangest behaviors, and of how conscious and unconscious systems interact in order to create our experience and preserve our sense of self. From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strange thoughts and behaviors. When observed from the outside, these phenomena are often written off as being just ??crazy,? but what if they were actually planned and logical? NeuroLogic explores the brain??s internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths to conscious decision making, and illuminates how it explains our most outlandish as well as our most stereotyped behaviors. From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fans to false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, Dr. Eliezer Sternberg shows that there are patterns to the way the brain interprets the world????patterns that fit the brain??s unique logic. Unraveling these patterns and the various ways they can be disturbed will not only alter our view of mental illness and supernatural experience, but will also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves.

Other than that, the explanations of how the sense of self is protected by all these unconscious factors helps make sense of a lot of strange human actions. Great read for people who like learning about how brains work. ( )
