The 2.1-Second Journey Inside Your Brain
Ever wondered what happens in those fleeting moments when you spot the last cookie in the box and decide to take it? In just over two seconds, millions of processes ignite within your brain, all driven by tiny electrical impulses that allow neurons to communicate.
Neuroscientist Mark Humphries takes you on a grand odyssey through this hidden universe in Speed of Thought. Following a single impulse from the flicker of desire to the final action, the book travels across a shimmering galaxy of neurons and through the deep darkness of the cerebral cortex.
Humphries explores the most intriguing questions in brain science: How do we make decisions? How do we control our own bodies? How do we recognize faces—and cookies? What does science actually know about impulses? And how many secrets does our brain still hold?
This neuro-odyssey offers a fresh perspective on the brain’s remarkable capabilities, revealing the extraordinary complexity behind even the simplest, most everyday moments.
