Synopsis "How we Learn: The new Science of Education and the Brain "

'Absorbing, mind-enlarging, studded with insights ... This could have significant real-world results' Sunday TimesHumanity's greatest feat is our incredible ability to learn. Even in their first year, infants acquire language, visual and social knowledge at a rate that surpasses the best supercomputers. But how, exactly, do our brains learn?In How We Learn, leading neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene delves into the psychological, neuronal, synaptic and molecular mechanisms of learning. Drawing on case studies of children who learned despite huge difficulty and trauma, he explains why youth is such a sensitive period, during which brain plasticity is maximal, but also assures us that our abilities continue into adulthood. We can all enhance our learning and memory at any age and 'learn to learn' by taking maximal advantage of the four pillars of the brain's learning algorithm: attention, active engagement, error feedback and consolidation.The human brain is an extraordinary machine. Its ability to process information and adapt to circumstances by reprogramming itself is unparalleled, and it remains the best source of inspiration for recent developments in artificial intelligence. How We Learn finds the boundary of computer science, neurobiology, cognitive psychology and education to explain how learning really works and how to make the best use of the brain's learning algorithms - and even improve them - in our schools and universities as well as in everyday life.

Stanislas Dehaene (Roubaix, France, May 12, 1965) is an internationally renowned cognitive neuroscientist, recognized for his research on numerical cognition, the neural bases of reading, and the neural correlates of consciousness. Since 2017, he has held the chair of Experimental Cognitive Psychology at the Collège de France and, since 1989, has directed the INSERM Unit 562 of Cognitive Neuroimaging.

Dehaene earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and completed his PhD in Experimental Psychology in 1989 under the supervision of Jacques Mehler. His most influential work, The Number Sense (1997), popularized the concept of "number sense," an innate ability to understand numbers and arithmetic relationships.

Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades, such as the Centennial Fellowship from the James S. McDonnell Foundation in 1999, the Grand Scientific Prize from the Louis D. Foundation of the Institut de France in 2003, and the "Brain" Prize in 2014.

In addition to his research work, Dehaene has been an associate editor of the journal Cognition and a member of the editorial board of several scientific publications. His work has had a significant impact on the understanding of human mental processes and continues to be a reference in the field of cognitive neuroscience.
