WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
Book ID/图书代码： 13B64898
English Summary/英文概要： How do we know what’s real? That’s not a trick question: sensory science is increasingly finding that we don’t perceive reality: we create it through perception. In We Have the Technology, science writer Kara Platoni guides us through the latest developments in the science of sensory perception.
We Have the Technology introduces us to researchers who are changing the way we experience the world, whether creating scents that stimulate the memories of Alzheimer’s patients, constructing virtual limbs that approximate a sense of touch, or building augmented reality labs that prepare soldiers for the battlefield. These diverse investigations not only explain previously elusive aspects of human experience, but offer tantalizing glimpses into a future when we can expand, control, and enhance our senses as never before.
A fascinating tour of human capability and scientific ingenuity, We Have the Technology offers essential insights into the nature and possibilities of human experience.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们如何分辨现实？这不是一个带陷阱的问题，感官科学正越来越多地发现，我们并非直接感知到现实，而是通过感知创造现实。本书中，科学作家Kara Platoni将带领我们了解感官知觉科学领域的最新发展。
本书向我们介绍了多位正在改变我们体验世界的研究人员，他们会创造用于刺激阿兹海默症换着记忆的气味；制造模拟触觉的假肢；建造现实增强型实验室，供士兵模拟战场……各种各样的调查研究不仅有助于解释人类体验的难以捉摸的各个方面，同时也令我们看到一个能够扩展、控制、提升感官的未来。
本书开启了一段有关人类能力和科学创新的神奇之旅，深入分析了人类体验的本质和各种可能。（LYR）
