{"product_id":"neurotechnologies-of-the-self-jonna-brenninkmeijer-9781137533852","title":"Neurotechnologies of the Self: Mind, Brain and Subjectivity","description":"Taking care of oneself is increasingly interpreted as taking care of one's brain. Apart from pills, books, food, and games for a better brain, people can also use neurotechnologies for self-improvement. This book explores how the use of brain devices to understand or improve the self changes people's subjectivity.\u003cbr\u003eThis book describes how the effects of several brain devices were and are demonstrated; how brains and selves interact in the work of early brainwave scientists and contemporary practitioners; how users of neurofeedback (brainwave training) constitute a new mode of self that is extended with a brain and various other (physiological, psychological, material, and sometimes spiritual) entities, and; how clients, practitioners and other actors (computers, brain maps, brainwaves) perform a dance of agency during the neurofeedback process. Through these topics, Jonna Brenninkmeijer provides a historical, ethnographical, and theoretical exploration ofthe mode of being that is constituted when people use a brain device to improve themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonna Brenninkmeijer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137533854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137533852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 6.01w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017","brand":"Jonna Brenninkmeijer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48742485917951,"sku":"9781137533852","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neurotechnologies-of-the-self-jonna-brenninkmeijer-9781137533852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
