Abstract
Where does our consciousness come from? Why can microscopic neural activities produce such macroscopic cognitive behavior? Congratulations on getting the chance to follow the Intracranial Explorer "Mechanical Sheep 001" into the brain and explore how the small "three pound universe" works.
This book will introduce brain principles from three systems: world weather, world geography and world civilization. The abstract concepts such as emotion, memory, thinking and consciousness are combined with the theoretical knowledge of brain science and psychology, and correspond to the concrete images such as weather, geography, transportation. These stretch to a magic world in our brain. By reading this book, readers will not only learn about the brain but also manage an amazing adventure into the intracranial world.
