À propos de cet audio
A novelist and a neuroscientist uncover the secrets of human memory.
What makes us remember? Why do we forget? And what, exactly, is a memory?
With playfulness and intelligence, this audiobook answers these questions and more, offering an illuminating look at one of our most fascinating faculties: our memory. The authors - two Norwegian sisters, one a neuropsychologist and the other an acclaimed writer - skillfully interweave history, research, and exceptional personal stories, taking listeners on a captivating exploration of the evolving science of memory from its humble Renaissance beginnings up to the present day. They interview experts of all stripes, from the world’s top neuroscientists to famous novelists, from taxi drivers to quizmasters, to help explain how memory works, why it sometimes fails, and what we can do to improve it. Filled with cutting-edge research and nimble storytelling, the result is a charming - and memorable - adventure through human memory.
