If you know that the Schrodinger’s cat paradox has to do with quantum mechanics and not psychology, this is no reason to put the book aside. Linguist and neuropsychologist Tatyana Chernigovskaya will not bore you with stories about the collapse of the wave function and the mechanics of quantum decoherence.
If you know that the Schrodinger’s cat paradox has to do with quantum mechanics and not psychology, this is no reason to put the book aside. Linguist and neuropsychologist Tatyana Chernigovskaya will not bore you with stories about the collapse of the wave function and the mechanics of quantum decoherence. On the contrary: when you get to the end, you will find out who Homo loquens is and whether it differs from Homo sapiens, how to grab hold of Ariadne’s thread leading through the labyrinths of neural networks, whether the ability to speak is given from above or absorbed with mother’s milk, how the evolution of kidney functions is similar on the history of the development of commands in programming languages and how “the maximum influence of topical indicators on disturbances in the perception of a tonal stimulus with a shift in intensity to the left” manifests itself. And even if you are left indifferent by the amazing fact that “a conscious analysis of the influence of a separation pause on the semantic structure of an utterance is accompanied by an increase in functional activity in the posterior medial section of the right hemisphere of the cerebellum”, references placed across the page to Kant, Nietzsche, Lotman, Brodsky, Galileo, Schnittke , Russell, Pascal, Mamardashvili, Augustine and the author himself will certainly create a pleasant aftertaste from the involvement in the innermost meaning of all the humanities at once.
