Mind Hacks: Tips and Tools for Using Your Brain - Tom Stafford, Matt Webb
The brain is a fearsomely complex information-processing environment--one
that often eludes our ability to understand it. At any given time, the
brain is collecting, filtering, and analyzing information and, in
response, performing countless intricate processes, some of which are
automatic, some voluntary, some conscious, and some unconscious.

Want to know more? Mind Hacks is a collection of probes into the moment
by moment works of the brain. Using cognitive neuroscience, these
experiments, tricks, and tips related to vision, motor skills, attention,
cognition, subliminal perception, and more throw light on how the human
brain works. Each hack examines specific operations of the brain. By seeing
how the brain responds, we pick up clues about the architecture and design
of the brain, learning a little bit more about how the brain is put together.
Mind Hacks begins your exploration of the mind with a look inside the brain itself,
using hacks such as "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Turn On and Off Bits of the
Brain" and "Tour the Cortex and the Four Lobes." Also among the 100 hacks in
this book, you'll find:
* Release Eye Fixations for Faster Reactions
* See Movement When All is Still
* Feel the Presence and Loss of Attention
* Detect Sounds on the Margins of Certainty
* Mold Your Body Schema
* Test Your Handedness
* See a Person in Moving Lights
* Make Events Understandable as Cause-and-Effect
* Boost Memory by Using Context
* Understand Detail and the Limits of Attention
Steven Johnson, author of "Mind Wide Open" writes in his foreword to the book,
"These hacks amaze because they reveal the brain's hidden logic; they
shed light on the cheats and shortcuts and latent assumptions our brains
make about the world." If you want to know more about what's going on
in your head, then Mind Hacks is the key--let yourself play with the
interface between you and the world.
