With ALBERT MOUKHEIBER For about thirty years, the brain has been all the rage. We could explain everything through brain mechanisms. Not only how we see and how we speak, but also how we think and how we make mistakes, and even why people eat fatty foods, are lazy, fail at school or vote left. Knowledge of the brain could lead to progress not only in medicine, but in education, public policy, management and self-improvement. Albert Moukheiber is a psychologist and doctor in cognitive neuroscience, trained in Beirut and then in Paris. And it is precisely as a brain specialist that he wants to warn about the media and political excesses of his discipline. What does this neuromania reveal? Can neuroscience really help us understand our behavior and solve our societal problems? Am I my brain?
