"Congratulations on the purchase of this exclusive product, tailor-made just for you. It will provide you with years of continuous existence." So begins The Brain: A Users Manual, Marco Magrinis fascinating guide to the inner workings of one of natures most miraculous but misunderstood creations: the human brain. This user-friendly manual offers an accessible guide to the machine you use the most, deconstructing the brain into its constituent parts and showing you both how they function and how to maintain them for a longer life. Cutting through the noise of modern pop psychology, The Brain: A Users Manual is a refreshingly factual approach to self-help.

Tu cerebro te ofrece un servicio extraordinario e irrepetible. La disponibilidad simultánea de un sistema sensorial para la percepción del entorno, de un sistema nervioso para el control del aparato motor, asi como de una conciencia integrada para discernir y decidir, te otorgaran años de existencia continua. Este manual, como el de cualquier otro producto, no mira ni al pasado lejano de nuestra ignorancia ni al futuro lejano de un conocimiento que hoy resulta inescrutable. Trata, en cambio, de lo que realmente se puede hacer con un cerebro humano en el presente: es decir, mucho, mucho mas de lo que piensas. Los avances de la tecnologia, pero tambien la extraordinaria cantidad de descubrimientos de los ultimos veinte años, confirman cada dia la intuicion de Santiago Ramon y Cajal, uno de los padres de la neurociencia: 'Todo ser humano, si se inclina a hacerlo, puede ser el escultor de su propio cerebro'. Es bueno que tu cerebro, como el de cualquier otro usuario, sepa como y por que.

An exploration of the past, present, and possible futures of AI from an AI pioneer.Intelligence remains an open mystery. The fact that only humans possess language, alphabets, and science doesnt grant us a monopoly on it. We share our existence with millions of other species, both animal and plant, each endowed with such a diverse range of cognitive abilities that they form an almost infinite spectrum of intelligences. Brains Minds Machines explores these intelligences and goes further to examine the possibilities, risks, and opportunities of our newest oneartificial intelligence.Thanks to the combined emergence of more sophisticated algorithms, vast databases, and immense computing power, the age-old aspiration of mathematically replicating human intelligence has achieved unexpected milestones. While still far from truly succeeding, a small zoo of artificial intelligences can already perform numerous tasks typically done by humans. Like electricity or computers, this technology is poised to transform society, the economy, and daily life, bringing with it a host of risks and opportunities. However, it is also going to be an opportunity for new, extraordinary scientific discoveries, starting with the very secrets of intelligence itself the fundamental principles common to all forms of intelligence.
