«El cerebro nos engaña» is the popular science essay by Francisco J. Rubia, published by Booket in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
The book argues that the illusions generated by the brain have been key to human survival. The author maintains that the mind is a brain function that, like the rest of the organism, has evolved with the species; to explain this, he integrates neurobiology, anthropology and philosophy and shows how our perception of reality is an interpretive construction, not a direct reflection of the world.
It is part of the Divulgación collection and was published on 6 March 2007. Francisco J. Rubia holds a doctorate in Medicine and has directed the Instituto Pluridisciplinar at the Complutense University of Madrid.
An essay for readers interested in neuroscience and evolution, as well as in the relationships between mind, brain and perception.
