Stories and the Brain: The Neuroscience of Narrative
General non-fiction
Synthetic audio, Automated braille
Summary
This book explains how the brain interacts with the social world--and why stories matter. How do our brains enable us to tell and follow stories? And how do stories affect our minds? In this book, the author analyzes the cognitive processes… involved in constructing and exchanging stories, exploring their role in the neurobiology of mental functioning. Taking up the age-old question of what our ability to tell stories reveals about language and the mind, this truly interdisciplinary project should be of interest to humanists and cognitive scientists alike.
