书籍简介
想象一下，如果有一天你醒来，发现你的视力迅速下降到黑暗中，会是什么感觉。你的指尖变得麻木，当世界在你周围封闭时，你意识到你无法阻止它。凡妮莎·波特就是这样的。
在72小时的时间里，凡妮莎从一名雄心壮志的制片人，同时还要照顾她的两个小孩，变成了完全失明、不能行走、完全失去触觉的人。
在接下来的六个月里，凡妮莎慢慢地开始康复。当她睁开眼睛，看到一个形状和颜色变化无常、嘶嘶作响的黑白世界时，她看到了一个完全无法辨认的视觉景观。颜色重新出现,凡妮莎经历了一系列奇异现象她混乱的大脑试图理解她周围的世界,她发现自己接触和与无生命的物体为了刺激她的视力,她的大脑机制的一部分应对创伤的感觉丧失。
失明让凡妮莎变成了科学侦探，她把自己改造成病人H69，以揭示她特殊情况背后的真相。在一组心理学家和神经科学家的帮助下，我们跟随她学习自我科学的故事，发现将积极地改变她的人生轨迹。
凡妮莎的叙述原始而坦率，但最终还是乐观的。它展示了这位非凡的女性是如何通过将她可怕的经历转变为一项鼓舞人心的科学上令人着迷的努力来打开大门的。
Imagine how it would feel to one day wake up and find your vision descending swiftly into darkness. Your fingertips are turning numb, and, as the world closes in around you, you realise there is nothing you can do to stop it. This is what happened to Vanessa Potter.
In the space of 72 hours, Vanessa went from juggling a high-flying career as a producer and caring for her two small children to being completely blind, unable to walk, and with her sense of touch completely gone.
Over the course of the next six months, Vanessa slowly began to recover. Opening her eyes onto a black-and-white world with mutating shapes and colours that crackled and fizzled, she encountered a visual landscape that was completely unrecognisable. As colour reappeared, Vanessa experienced a range of bizarre phenomena as her confused brain tried to make sense of the world around her, and she found herself touching and talking to inanimate objects in order to stimulate her vision - all part of her brain's mechanism for coping with the trauma of sensory loss.
Going blind led Vanessa to turn science sleuth, reinventing herself as Patient H69 to uncover the reality behind her unique condition. With the help of a team of psychologists and neuroscientists, we follow her story as she learns the science of herself, making discoveries that will positively change the course of her life.
Vanessa's account is raw and candid, but ultimately upbeat. It shows how this remarkable woman opened doors by transforming her terrifying experience into an inspirational and scientifically fascinating endeavour.
作者简介
Vanessa Potter spent 16 years as an award-winning broadcast producer in London's advertising industry, before one day fate conspired to turn the lights out on her. Suddenly losing then slowly regaining her sight led Vanessa to change direction, turning the camera upon herself to tell her story via immersive art and storytelling.
Vanessa's collaborations have led to some exciting partnerships, and she is currently working on developing an interactive EEG science-art project that allows the public to see and understand the effects of mindfulness on their brains. She is also involved in several other scientific research projects. Her speaking engagements include a June 2016 TEDx talk in Ghent, Belgium.
