Sinopse

Time Perception Science explores the fascinating ways our brains construct our subjective experience of time. It examines how neural mechanisms and cognitive processes work together, influencing everything from planning to social interactions. One intriguing fact is that our perception of time isn't passive; it's actively shaped by factors like attention and emotion. This book uniquely emphasizes the dynamic interplay of various brain regions, rather than pinpointing a single "time center."

 
The book progresses systematically, first laying the groundwork with historical and philosophical perspectives. It then delves into the neuroscience of time perception, exploring brain regions and neural oscillations. Next, it examines cognitive and psychological influences, such as how conditions like Parkinson's disease can alter time perception. By integrating findings from neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science, Time Perception Science offers a comprehensive understanding of how we experience time, including how our brains process temporal information.

Perceptions of Justice - Law...

Terry Lewis

If Lady Justice is blind, what guides her steps? Is justice, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? Or are there objective criteria we can apply? What is the relationship between law and justice? Using works of literature, scenes from films, and actual cases as springboards for reflection and debate, Perceptions of Justice provides us with an easy-to-comprehend and entertaining critique of the American justice system. Better yet, it offers readers the opportunity to understand how they determine what is fair and just, why others may see it differently, and how we might effectively address those differences. For a shared sense of justice is part of the glue that holds a society together, and that glue seems to be getting a little thin these days.
