Brainwashed : the seductive appeal of mindless neuroscience / Sally Satel and Scott O. Lilienfeld. - New York : Basic Books, c2013. - xxiii, 226 p. ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (p.157-218) and index.
In recent years, the advent of MRI technology seems to have unlocked the secrets of the human mind, revealing the sources of our deepest desires, intentions, and fears. In this book, the authors argue that the explanatory power of brain scans in particular and neuroscience more generally has been vastly overestimated. Although acknowledging its tremendous potential, they believe that the overzealous application of the burgeoning field of brain science has put innocent people in jail, prevented addicts from healing themselves, and undermined notions of free will and responsibility
