Live Wire: 10 (Myron Bolitar)

Product Information

Tази книга е изключително информативно и вълнуващо пътешествие в може би най-непознатата и необяснима територия - човешкия мозък. Eagleman peppers the book with stories and examples - my absolute favourite was the way that in the late 70s and early 80s, people thought that the IBM logo on floppy disks had changed from white to red. This was a result of one of these short term adaptations to compensate for an apparent oddity of the surroundings. You need to read the book to get the details, but the cause was apparently due to the people handling the disks (on which the logo was made up of a set of white horizontal lines) spent a lot of their time staring at VDUs, which contained lots of horizontal green lines of text. (My only slight doubt about this one is that I was a person who did this at the time, but I never noticed the effect, nor did I hear of it from anyone else.) livewired”(живо-свързан). Мозъкът ни се променя посоянно — той е адаптируема, жива, информационно-търсеща система. Изключителното на тази система е не в уникалността на частите й, а в начина, по който тези части си взаимодействат. Тя е динамична, жива електрическа вечнопроменяща се и самоконфигурираща се тъкан/мрежа. Livewired is framed as a series of fascinating sketches about "things the brain can do." The author seems most eager to point out ways that our current understanding of the brain could lead to wild, sci-fi futures. For example, the brain can successfully navigate a changing body and environment, so why can't our things do the same? Why can't our house adjust to our needs automatically? Same with our cars, our businesses, our cities. Ideas like these are radically out there, but also seem quite plausible in the author's capable hands. I listened to the audiobook read by Kelly Ripa. I always love it when celebrities read their own memoirs and/or "long-winded short stories" and to Kelly's credit, she did a superb job with the narration.

Live Wire – HarperCollins

Taking the idea further, Eagleman makes us wonder whether a livewired, self-adapting home and electric grid could be right around the corner. Trippy, sure, but why not? And that's what I particularly appreciate about Eagleman's work: he provokes us to think about *both* the stuff we take for granted *and* the radical "adjacent possible". This is especially fun since the book is talking about the very same thing you're using to read it (not the Kindle, silly — I mean your *brain*). For example, if the brain's so damn changeable, how can we even hold on to any memories before they get overwritten by new stuff?

I can understand why she wouldn't want to speak ill of the show because she's still on it. But she doesn't talk about it at all. Not even the good stuff. I'm a fan of Kelly and Live but am disappointed with this book. A lot of it I found boring. When reading a book like this I expect some inside scoop or tidbits of things I didn't know. That doesn't happen. I think I appreciate her humor better with her delivery than it being read. In Kelly's defense she literally has LONG WINDED right on the cover...believe her! Also missing from this book was Kelly's "short story" about the unprofessional and self-centered stunt that she pulled in 2016 when she "went missing" from Live after her former co-host Michael Strahan announced he was moving to Good Morning America.

A serious error by the author. As she points out, how can you trust other 'facts' in the book you don't know as well? And it's not like I don't have hundreds of other books on Mt. TBR.

Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories by Kelly Ripa | Goodreads

David Eagleman är professor i neurovetenskap vid Stanford och har grundat företaget NeoSensory som tillverkar armband med vibrationsmotorer vilka kan ge döva förmågan att höra. Livewired" is the catchy term David Eagleman has coined to describe the miraculous ability of the brain to adapt in concert with its environment and make sense of the world. With fluid prose and crystal-clear analogies, Eagleman explains the function of the cerebral cortex as a general computing machine that can take any kind of input from environmental sensors — e.g. the light sensors in your eye, the air-pressure sensors in your ear, or vibrations from a wrist band — and turn it into meaning. Yet again our young Live Wire Dancers have excelled in their ISTD Medal Dance Tests. We are all so … Read More

The bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger exposes a different side of sports agent Myron Bolitar in this explosive thriller…. Vår fascinerande hjärna och dess förmåga att anpassa sig till olika omständigheter. Särskilt beskriver David Eagleman hur hjärnan har förmågan att tolka komplicerade signaler från sensoriska organ och av dessa ta till vara på den i stunden relevanta informationen. Trots allt lever hjärnan i ett mörkt rum där den enda kopplingen med omvärlden består av elektrokemiska signaler. worked in the travel industry. He now lives in New Jersey with his wife, Anne Armstrong-Coben MD, a pediatrician, and their four children. But this would be a very enjoyable read for Kelly's fans! My mom loves Kelly and continues to watch her every weekday. I think I'll pass this one along to her 💕 This review is dedicated to my Mom - who introduced me to Kelly Ripa and kept this TV lady in my life for the last 20+ years, LOL! Yes, my Mom was an All my Children watcher my whole life, so somehow I know all about the characters Haley and Mateo, without really even watching them! Mom also watched Regis and Kathie Lee.......therefore Kelly! So even though I watch nothing regularly...somehow I know a lot about Kelly and Mark and their family! It's actually weird how much I knew listening to this book and only having really caught bits and pieces of the show throughout the years. I guess that's why she remains so popular. My opinion ~you don't have to be a dedicated fan to find this book entertaining. But you do need to get her personality!Ron Rash is renowned for his writing about Appalachia, but his latest book, The Caretaker, begins ... I liked this book. Writing is clear, tight, and entertaining, as I've come to expect from David Eagleman. Perhaps the thing I like best about Eagleman's books is the strong organizing concept. A lot of popular neuroscience books I read regurgitate a psych 101 class for the first third of the book, which is both tedious and often in need of updating (e.g. it used to be thought that the brain was one continuous neural net BUT THEN Ramon y Cajal, Psychology used to not be real science BUT THEN behaviorism, and then Phineas Gage got a pole launched through his frontal cortex, and HM had to have his hippocampus removed due to epilepsy, and here we are today). Eagleman's books in contrast, discuss the topics most tightly related to his theme at hand, and often present new material or familiar material through a novel lens, which I love! The theme of this book broadly is brain plasticity, highlighting how the brain is actually a general purpose computing machine that would ably use any input presented from birth as long as it consistently predicted something about the outside world. Eagleman also sets himself apart by introducing new, often quite startling theories, as well as making predictions.
