“我在一个满是医生和医学讨论的家庭中长大——我父亲和哥哥们是全科医生，我母亲是外科医生。餐桌上的许多谈话难免围绕着医学话题，但从来不仅限于‘病例’。提及某个病人也许是为了例证某种疾病，但在我父母的交谈中，病例总是变成了传记，变成了人们如何应对疾病或伤痛、压力或不幸的生命故事。因此，我后来也成为一名医生和讲故

立体视觉和立体盲其实是一个非常引人入胜的话题。有些人天生没有立体视觉，但依然能开车、骑自行车或开飞机。Oliver Sacks 的《The Mind's Eye》里有一章很有意思，讲的是一位女性在将近 50 岁时通过视觉训练成功获得了立体视觉。
Stereopsis and stereoblindness is actually a fascinating topic. Some humans don’t have it, and still manage to drive, ride bicycles, or fly planes. The Mind's Eye by Oliver Sacks has an interesting chapter on a woman who managed to develop stereovision in her late 40s through vision therapy.
推荐的书单不长，但我推荐这几本：- 《The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat》~ Oliver Sacks，1985 年。这本书记录了 Sacks 一些病人的案例。读起来非常有意思。[1] - 《The Mind's Eye》~ Oliver Sacks，2010 年。[2] - 《Spy Catcher》（一位军情五处特工的自传）~ Peter Wright，1987 年。[3] - 《Applied Cryptography》~ Bruce Schneier，1994 年。这本书通俗易懂、言简意赅的语言让……
Not a long list, but I'd recommend these: - The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat ~ Oliver Sacks, 1985. This book contains tales of some of the Sacks's patients. A very interesting read. [1] - The Mind's Eye ~ Oliver Sacks, 2010. [2] - Spy Catcher (Autobiography of a MI5 agent) ~ Peter Wright, 1987. [3] - Applied Cryptography ~ Bruce Schneier, 1994. Approachable and succinate language of this book makes…
Oliver Sacks 的《The Mind's Eye》一书最后一章讨论了这种现象，以及失明人士是如何适应和代偿的。强烈推荐。他指出这种现象主要是由生物学先决条件决定的。
The last chapter in Oliver Sacks' book "The Mind's Eye" discusses this phenomenon and how people who became blind adapted and compensated. Highly recommend it. He suggests a phenomenon like this is primarily biologically predetermined.
有点意思。我目前正在读 Oliver Sacks 的《The Mind's Eye》，里面包含了一些失读症的案例。如果你想看更多这类故事，而且喜欢 Sacks 的文风，这本书值得一读。
Interesting. I'm currently reading Oliver Sacks' "The Mind's Eye", which includes a few cases of alexia. A good read if you'd like more stories about this and you like Sacks' style.
我记得自己最初接触到失语症这个概念，是来自已故的 Oliver Sacks 医生。要么是他《The Mind’s Eye》一书中的文章《Recalled to Life》，要么就是他《Musicophilia》书中关于失语症音乐疗法的那一章。我还记得当时读到有人竟然会失去找到指代特定物体的词语的能力时，那种被震撼到的感觉。或者失去……
I remember first learning of the concept oh aphasia from the late Dr. Oliver Sacks. The essay "Recalled to Life" in his book "The Mind’s Eye" or the chapter about music therapy for aphasia from his book "Musicophilia". I remember reading transfixed how someone could loose the ability to find the right word for specific objects. Or loose the…
这周我正在读 Nate Silver 的《The Signal and the Noise》。我是上周读完 Oliver Sacks 的《The Mind’s Eye》之后接着看这本的——两本都是几年前在图书馆图书特卖会上淘来的。我最近还读了《Don't Look Now And Other Stories》（Daphne DuMaurier 的短篇小说集），目前正在啃 PKD 那些鲜为人知的……
This week, I’m reading Nate Silver’s The Signal and the Noise. I picked this up after finishing Oliver Sacks’ The Mind’s Eye last week – both are hauls from a library book sale a couple years ago. I also recently read Don't Look Now And Other Stories (a Daphne DuMaurier collection), & I'm working my way through PKD's little-known…
