ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The human stories that revealed what memory is and how it works.
A voyage through memory’s many secrets, alongside neuroscience and cognitive psychology expert Héctor Ruiz Martín.
This book plunges us into one of the most fascinating scientific adventures in our eagerness to uncover who we are, and does so through extraordinary human stories that have revealed the strengths and weaknesses of our most precious gift—memory. Within these pages we travel through some real cases that have helped scientists understand the potential and limitations of our ability to treasure and reminisce the past, acquire knowledge, develop skills, adopt habits, and most definitely build our own identity. Because... what would we do without our memories? Who would we be if we couldn’t look back and forth at our lives?
Héctor Ruiz Martín tells us that memory is the ability to learn, and with him as our guide we see how memory is developed and organized, which factors influence it, and why it fails us on so many occasions. This unique journey reminds us that, because of our memories, we are freer.
