INTERVIEW – Emotions, personality, decision-making… today everything seems to find an explanation in our brain. This is what neurologist Dr. Albert Mukhaiber condemns in his book Neuromania, the truth from the lie about your brain.
According to what I’ve read on the internet, some of us are more “left-brained” and others more “right-brained”. We can also do a “dopamine detox” to remove the organ from the addictive stimulation of social media, or learn to control our “reptilian brain” to stop depending on our base impulses. All these concepts are simplifications that in no way reflect the true complexity of our brain’s functions, argues Albert Muheiber, a neurologist and clinical psychologist. In his book Neuromania, true from false about your brain (1), he condemns the tendency to turn too often to neuroscience to give a scientific “varnish” to what is not science. All this at the cost of approximations, shortcuts, even inaccuracies. The omnipresence of reductive discourse, which is not inconsequential, he warns. Interview.
