It is only natural for someone in pain to attend to the body
part that hurts. Yet this book tells the story of persistent pain
having negative effects on brain function. The contributors, all
leading experts in their respective fields of pain
electrophysiology, brain imaging, and animal models of pain, strive
to synthesize compelling and, in some ways, connected hypotheses
with regard to pain-related changes in the brain. Together, they
contribute their clinical, academic, and theoretical expertise in a
comprehensive overview that attempts to define the broader
philosophical context of pain (disentangling sensical from
nonsensical claims), " "list the changes known to take place in the
brains of individuals with chronic pain and animal models of pain,
address the possible causes and mechanisms underlying these
changes, and detail the techniques and analytical methods at our
disposal to "visualize" and study these changes.
Light, sound, taste, and smell shape our lives dramatically, but how does this happen? How can a far-away noise elicit a joyful memory or a cry? How can the smell of cookies take you back to early childhood? These powerful stimuli exist in our environment, yet remain neutral until our brain decodes the necessary information into meaningful senses. In other words, light is transformed into vision, and sound into hearing, by the brain and the brain only. ""Seeing, Hearing, and Smelling the World"" reveals the phenomena underlying our senses, with a brief discussion of what can go wrong (for example, hearing colors or seeing sounds). This book will reacquaint readers with their senses and challenge their fundamental understanding of the amazing human mind.
