About This Book
Brainwashed explores the growing influence of neuroscience in contemporary culture and the tendency to overstate its explanatory power.
The authors examine how findings from brain research are frequently misinterpreted or exaggerated in media, policy, and everyday discussions.
They argue for a more cautious and nuanced approach to applying neuroscientific evidence in fields such as law, education, and mental health.
The book highlights the risks of reducing complex human behavior to simplistic brain-based explanations.
