Abstract

Comment fonctionne notre cerveau pour appréhender la perception, la raison, les émotions, les rêves et le langage ? Comment les drogues modifient-elles notre conscience ? Les bébés savent-ils compter ? Le sens de la justice est-il inné ? Le neuroscientifique Mariano Sigman nous offre un voyage à l'intérieur du cerveau, à la rencontre des subtilités et des bizzareries qui caractérisent l'esprit humain. Conflits intérieurs inconscients, rêves lucides, cerveau bilingue... Les ressources immenses de notre organe le plus complexe se dévoilent grâce à la science. L'auteur montre comment, dès les premiers jours de notre vie, nous formons des idées, comment nous prenons nos décisions fondamentales, comment nous rêvons et imaginons, pourquoi nous ressentons certaines émotions, comment le cerveau se transforme et comment nous changeons avec lui. La réponse d'un neuroscientifique à la question fondamentale : qu'est ce qui est spécifique à l'homme ?

Abstract

We study desensitization to crime in a lab experiment by showing footage of criminal acts to a group of subjects, some of whom have been previously victimized. We measure biological markers of stress and behavioral indices of cognitive control before and after treated participants watch a series of real, crime-related videos (while the control group watches non-crime-related videos). Not previously victimized participants exposed to the treatment video show significant changes in cortisol level, heart rate, and measures of cognitive control. Instead, previously victimized individuals who are exposed to the treatment video show biological markers and cognitive performance comparable to those measured in individuals exposed to the control video. These results suggest a phenomenon of desensitization or habituation of victims to crime exposure.
