Curiosity and the ability to learn are a gift of human evolution. So far, no artificial neural network can reproduce even the most basic information that even an infant possesses. In this book, French neurobiologist Stanislas Dehaene explains what truly lies behind people’s natural drive for knowledge. Understanding the features of this drive, the role of perception, errors, memory, and attention in learning—these are the powers that will help unlock our potential at school, at work, and in everyday life.
