Epilogue 264

Neuroscience is by no means a cold and rigid discipline.
It is a warm link in our lives.
Understanding how brain activity shapes our thoughts, regulates our emotions, and guides our behavior can empower us to see and solve the challenges we face in life with new perspectives.
This book aims to share that power with you.
On days when your thoughts are complicated and you feel anxious, when you don't know what to do first, listen to your brain's voice.
I hope that through this book, you will discover the connection between your brain and life and take the first step toward change.
BrainTouch will give you more than just information, it will give you inspiration.
We invite you on a journey to understand your brain and take control of your life!

Dr. Jeongmi Choi's popular book series on the brain is planned in the order of 'BrainTouch' - 'BrainSpace' - 'BrainSync', with Korean and English versions available overseas.
The first book published this time, 'Brain Touch', contains content that gently stimulates various areas of the brain and allows you to become naturally familiar with the brain.
The upcoming 'Brainspace' will delve into deeper topics through storytelling format, offering readers an engaging intellectual journey.
Finally, "Brainthink" is a professional book that presents recent innovative research and insights in a systematic, academic context, and is designed to be suitable for readers seeking in-depth exploration.
This series aims to make brain science accessible and enjoyable for everyone, while providing progressively more in-depth knowledge in stages.
