Summary : Se trata de una revisión teórica que aborda los conceptos básicos sobre los mecanismos neurobiológicos y neuropatológicos de la percepción visual en la que se indaga sobre los conceptos generales de la percepción, la diferenciación con la sensación, los modelos y leyes teóricas que surgieron durante el transcurso de la historia que nos condujeron al concepto actual de percepción visual, el desarrollo desde el nacimiento, las particularidades de los procesos neuro anatomofisiológicos, el papel de la plasticidad en éste proceso, las diferencias en el reconocimiento de objetos versus caras,las alteraciones de la percepción visual. Todo esto demostrado a través de una guía docente práctica, clara y dinámica que incentive el interés de los estudiantes y de los profesionales de ciencias de la salud –especialmente de las área de rehabilitación–, en el abordaje y conocimiento de la percepción visual para facilitar su aprendizaje integral, que consolidará las bases conceptuales de los futuros profesionales en los contextos de la neurociencia e implicará un impacto en la calidad de vida de los usuarios, quienes se benefician de estos procesos terapéuticos de calidad.

Summary : El objetivo de este libro es contribuir a la comprensión de los mecanismos bioquímicos y neurofisiológicos de la percepción visual. La mayor parte de los procesos que se presentan han sido descubiertos muy recientemente, y aún quedan por dilucidar muchos aspectos de tan apasionante ámbito de la función perceptiva. Se han intentado exponer en capítulos independientes, aunque unidos entre sí en bloques de varios capítulos, aspectos individuales de estos mecanismos, de forma clara y con profusión de subapartados, para contribuir a una mejor comprensión del tema. Básicamente, puede decirse que el texto se organiza en dos grandes apartados: el proceso visual en la retina y el proceso visual en el cerebro.

Genre : Psychology

Summary : John Ratey, bestselling author and clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, lucidly explains the human brain’s workings, and paves the way for a better understanding of how the brain affects who we are. Ratey provides insight into the basic structure and chemistry of the brain, and demonstrates how its systems shape our perceptions, emotions, and behavior. By giving us a greater understanding of how the brain responds to the guidance of its user, he provides us with knowledge that can enable us to improve our lives. In A User’s Guide to the Brain, Ratey clearly and succinctly surveys what scientists now know about the brain and how we use it. He looks at the brain as a malleable organ capable of improvement and change, like any muscle, and examines the way specific motor functions might be applied to overcome neural disorders ranging from everyday shyness to autism. Drawing on examples from his practice and from everyday life, Ratey illustrates that the most important lesson we can learn about our brains is how to use them to their maximum potential.

Summary : The central concepts of the theory of interpersonal neurobiology. Many fields have explored the nature of mental life from psychology to psychiatry, literature to linguistics. Yet no common “framework” where each of these important perspectives can be honored and integrated with one another has been created in which a person seeking their collective wisdom can find answers to some basic questions, such as, What is the purpose of life? Why are we here? How do we know things, how are we conscious of ourselves? What is the mind? What makes a mind healthy or unwell? And, perhaps most importantly: What is the connection among the mind, the brain, and our relationships with one another? Our mental lives are profoundly relational. The interactions we have with one another shape our mental world. Yet as any neuroscientist will tell you, the mind is shaped by the firing patterns in the brain. And so how can we reconcile this tension—that the mind is both embodied and relational? Interpersonal Neurobiology is a way of thinking across this apparent conceptual divide. This Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology is designed to aid in your personal and professional application of the interpersonal neurobiology approach to developing a healthy mind, an integrated brain, and empathic relationships. It is also designed to assist you in seeing the intricate foundations of interpersonal neurobiology as you read other books in the Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology. Praise for Daniel J. Siegel's books: “Siegel is a must-read author for anyone interested in the science of the mind.” —Daniel Goleman, author of Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships “[S]tands out for its skillful weaving together of the interpersonal, the inner world, the latest science, and practical applications.” —Jack Kornfield, PhD, founding teacher of the Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock Center, and author of A Path With Heart “Siegel has both a meticulous understanding of the roles of different parts of the brain and an intimate relationship with mindfulness . . . [A]n exciting glimpse of an uncharted territory of neuroscience.” —Scientific American Mind “Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the most thoughtful, eloquent, scientifically solid and reputable exponents of mind/body/brain integration in the world today.” —Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are, Full Catastrophe Living, and Coming to Our Senses

Genre : Emotional intelligence

Summary : Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. Working with Emotional Intelligence Do you want to be more successful at work? Do you want to improve your chances of promotion? Do you want to get on better with your colleagues? Daniel Goleman draws on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and the thorough research that is his trademark. He demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ or technical expertise in this inspiring sequel.
