Impronta, The Cognitive Heuristics of Nature

Impronta: The Cognitive Heuristics of Nature In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, we often forget the original intelligence—the one honed by nature over millions of years of evolution. "Impronta" is a compelling journey into the surprising intersection of biology, neuroscience, and the future of AI. Author Javier Valle invites you to explore the "imprints"—the cognitive heuristics that define how we think, feel, and adapt. He argues that to build a constructive relationship with intelligent machines, we must first understand the biological principles that govern our own minds. What you will discover inside: A New Perspective on Intelligence: Learn why intelligence is not a fixed trait but a dynamic process of adaptation, from the simplest organisms to complex superorganisms. The Key to Understanding Your Brain: Explore the neural mechanisms, like the role of dopamine in motivation and the default mode network, that underlie your decisions and perceptions. An Optimistic Vision for the Future: Moving beyond dystopian narratives, "Impronta" proposes a powerful symbiosis between human and artificial intelligence, where both can enhance each other. Tools for Everyday Life: The book provides a conceptual framework for personal and professional growth, helping you gamify your reality, improve your attention, and navigate complex interactions. "Impronta" is essential reading for anyone interested in neuroscience, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, or simply in understanding their own mind better. It will challenge you to think differently about intelligence and prepare you for the future that is already here. Approximate book length: 250 pages.
