参考译文:了解大脑的连接能让我们开始懂得它们电流的闪烁怎样组成一个完整的意识体验,一个我们的感观、直觉、推理和记忆互相交织成清晰的世界观的体验。
重要背景介绍:
人类的大脑是一个高度有条理且高效运转的系统(a highly organized and efficient system),它的每一条通路的存在都理由充分虽然表面上看来,大脑像一个缭乱且纠结的网络(tangled and messy web),那只是因为我们还没有理解(unable to unravel)它1000亿条神经和100万亿的连接,还无法解释它的运作原理(how it works)。《新科学家》刊登的文章认为,我们在大脑研究上可能很长时间都走错了方向(the understanding has long eluded us)。科学家一种新的研究方法通过关注神经管之间的间隙而非神经管(neural cables)本身,为我们提供了新的线索(fresh clues)。研究认为,我们双耳之间的神经连接(wiring between your ears)充满了空洞,而且是因为这些空洞,我们才拥有了惊人的心理和智力(impressive mental feats)。换言之,大脑的空隙让我们更加聪明。
词汇突破:
1.Flashes 闪烁
2.Add up to 合计;组成
3.Conscious 有意识的
4.Intuition 直觉
5.Interact 互相作用
