“There are words that are so familiar they obscure rather than illuminate the thing they mean, and ‘learning’ is such a word. It seems so ordinary, everyone does it. Actually it’s more of a black box, which Dehaene cracks open to reveal the awesome secrets within.”—The New York Times...

How does the brain generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before. In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the brain events behind a conscious state.

D'où vient l'intelligence ? Est-elle une exclusivité humaine ? Les machines peuvent-elles nous dépasser ? Elle a émergé avec la vie, s'est développée au fil de l'évolution, s'est magnifiée avec l'espèce humaine... Grâce à cette mystérieuse intelligence, nous avons tout inventé : l'outil, le langage, l'écriture, l'éducation, la science, et la faculté de nous interroger sur le monde. Aujourd'hui, cette belle histoire connaît une révolution sans précédent. Pour la première fois, le cerveau humain peut visualiser son propre fonctionnement.

The act of reading is so easily taken for granted that we forget what an astounding feat it is. How can a few black marks on white paper evoke an entire universe of meanings?

In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene, author of How We Learn, explores every aspect of this human invention, from its origins to its neural underpinnings.
