In this illuminating book, brain scientist and horsewoman Janet Jones describes human and equine brains working together. Using plain language, she explores the differences and similarities between equine and human ways of negotiating the world. Mental abilities—like seeing, learning, fearing, trusting, and focusing—are discussed from both human and horse perspectives. Throughout, true stories of horses and handlers attempting to understand each other—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—help to illustrate the principles.

Was wir Wirklichkeit nennen, ist keine Gegebenheit, sondern eine Übersetzung. Ronald Cicurel, ehemaliger Mitbegründer des ersten Projekts zur Simulation des gesamten Gehirns an der EPFL, legt mit diesem Buch eine radikale Neubestimmung dessen vor, was Erkenntnis überhaupt leisten kann.Seine These: Das Gehirn ist keine Empfangsstation, die eine bereits vorhandene Realität abbildet. Es ist eine Membran – ein biologischer Konverter, der einen kontinuierlichen, ungeteilten Fluss in diskrete, benennbare Einheiten zerlegt. Aus dieser Übersetzungsleistung entsteht das, was wir für die Welt ...
