Listen. Can you hear an aircraft passing overhead? A dog barking?
The twittering of birds? In straining to listen, you have just sent
a surge of electrical activity through millions of brain cells. In
choosing to do this with your mind, you have changed your brain -
you have made brain cells fire, at the side of your head, above the
right eye. By the time you've read this far, you will have changed
your brain permanently. These words will leave a faint trace in the
woven electricity of you. For 'you' exists in the trembling web of
connected brain cells. This web is in flux, continually remoulded,
sculpted by the restless energy of the world. That energy is
transformed at your senses into the utterly unique weave of brain
connections that is YOU. New research has demonstrated the way in
which the brain is shaped by experience and sculpted by our
interactions with the world around us. As one of the world's
leading authorities on brain rehabilitation, Ian Robertson is
uniquely placed to explore these ground-breaking discoveries, that
free us from the currently fashionable genetically determinist
view. Mind Sculpture is a singularly accessible and imaginative
book which communicates the excitement and challenge of the most
recent research, its consequences for how we understand the brain
and how we perceive ourselves.
