I like to think of science as a ship that takes us to unknown places, the remotest parts of the universe, into the inner workings of light and the tiniest molecules of life. This ship has instruments, telescopes and microscopes, which make visible what was once invisible. But science is also the route itself, the binnacle, the chart leading us towards the unknown.<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]From a world-renowned leader in neuroscience, a provocative, enthralling journey into the depths of the human mind.<\/p>\n

Where do our thoughts come from? How do we make choices and trust our judgments? What is the role of the unconscious? Can we manipulate our dreams?<\/p>\n

In this mind-bending international bestseller, award-winning neuroscientist Mariano Sigman explores the complex answers to these and many other age-old questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the course of his 20-year career investigating the inner workings of the human brain, Dr. Sigman has cultivated a remarkable interdisciplinary vision. <\/strong><\/p>\n

He draws on research in physics, linguistics, psychology, education, and beyond to explain why people who speak more than one language are less prone to dementia; how infants can recognize by sight objects they’ve previously only touched; how babies, even before they utter their first word, have an innate sense of right and wrong; and how we can “read” the thoughts of vegetative patients by decoding patterns in their brain activity.<\/p>\n

Building on the author’s awe-inspiring TED talk, the cutting-edge research presented in The Secret Life of the Mind revolutionizes how we understand the role that neuroscience plays in our lives,<\/strong> unlocking the mysterious cerebral processes that control the ways in which we learn, reason, feel, think, and dream.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10645″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1659607576537{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”intro-blog” css=”.vc_custom_1659609557763{margin-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #eeeeee !important;}”]Mariano Sigman<\/strong> is one of the most outstanding neuroscientists in the world<\/strong>, with over 150 publications in the most prestigious scientific journals.<\/p>\n

He is also passionate about experimentation and has worked with magicians, chess masters, musicians, athletes and visual artists to bring his knowledge of neuroscience to different aspects of human culture and apply it in different contexts.<\/p>\n

He has participated twice (2016 and 2017) in the TED global events in Vancouver, the second with Dan Ariely.<\/p>\n

In his conferences, he teaches how the mind works<\/strong> and what lessons we can learn about decision making, leadership, team management, personal development or creative skills, his presentations always with a high level of participation from the audience through experiments and games.<\/p>\n

He obtained his degree in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires, PhD in Neuroscience<\/strong> (PhD) in New York and did a post-Doctorate in Cognitive Sciences at the College de France (Paris).<\/p>\n

In 2016, he was awarded the Pio XI Medal<\/strong>, from the Pontifical Academy of Science, one of the most outstanding prizes of science (shared among others with Stephen Hawking, and several Nobel prize winners).<\/p>\n

Beyond academy, Mariano Sigman’s research has had practical implications in Medicine (for example in the diagnosis of vegetative or autistic patients), in Education (with effective interventions to improve decision-making and learning in schools throughout Latin America) and in Art (in a project “The morphology of the look” that has been exhibited in New York, Austria, Moscow, Mexico, Japan… and was presented in 2017 at the Venice Biennale).<\/p>\n

He has also developed an extensive career in the proliferation of science that includes TV programmes and hundreds of articles published in different editorial media.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ gradient_colors=”%5B%7B%7D%5D” el_class=”sidebar-blog”][vc_column_text el_class=”ultimi-articoli-h3″ css=”.vc_custom_1659610045076{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
