What It's Like to Be a Dog: And Other Adventures in Animal Neuroscience
Autor Gregory Bernsen Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2018
"Dog
lovers
and
neuroscientists
should
both
read
this
important
book."--Dr.
Temple
Grandin
What
is
it
like
to
be
a
dog?
A
bat?
Or
a
dolphin?
To
find
out,
neuroscientist
and
bestselling
author
Gregory
Berns
and
his
team
did
something
nobody
had
ever
attempted:
they
trained
dogs
to
go
into
an
MRI
scanner--completely
awake--so
they
could
figure
out
what
they
think
and
feel.
And
dogs
were
just
the
beginning.
InWhat
It's
Like
to
Be
a
Dog,
Berns
takes
us
into
the
minds
of
wild
animals:
sea
lions
who
can
learn
to
dance,
dolphins
who
can
see
with
sound,
and
even
the
now
extinct
Tasmanian
tiger.
Berns's
latest
scientific
breakthroughs
prove
definitively
that
animals
have
feelings
very
much
like
we
do--a
revelation
that
forces
us
to
reconsider
how
we
think
about
and
treat
animals.
Written
with
insight,
empathy,
and
humor,What
It's
Like
to
Be
a
Dogis
the
new
manifesto
for
animal
liberation
of
the
twenty-first
century.

"Groundbreaking
research
that
shows
that
dog
emotions
are
similar
to
people's.
Training
dogs
to
voluntarily
lie
still
in
the
MRI
brain
scanner
was
a
brilliant
way
to
explore
the
workings
of
their
brains.
Dog
lovers
and

should
both
read

this
big-hearted
book,
Gregory
Berns
applies
cutting-edge
science
to
questions
that
have
never
been
so
timely:
How
do
other
animals
perceive
their
worlds?
How
do
they
experience
emotions?
How
does
their
language
work?What

a

"Berns
also
peeks
into
the
gray
matter
of
dolphins,
sea
lions,
and
Tasmanian
devils,
bolstering
his
contention
that
both
four-footed

much

we
do,
a
sentiment
animal

—Booklist"The
author
explains
that

in
writing
this
book
is
'to
raise
awareness

that,
he
succeeds.
