"
Ramachandran is a latter-day Marco Polo" (
RICHARD DAWKINS)
"
A masterpiece. The best of its kind and beautifully crafted. Alluring storytelling, building to a penetrating understanding of what it is to be uniquely human.
Ramachandran is the foremost pioneer-the Galileo-of neurocognition. Mysteries of the mind, like our love of art, are revealed through his ingenious, deceptively simple experiments. Here is the
fruit of a long, daring career, peppered with breakthroughs and unforgettable insights." (
Allan Snyder, Director, Centre for the Mind)
""No one is better than V. S. Ramachandran at combining minute, careful observation with ingenious experiments and bold, adventurous theorizing. THE TELL-TALE BRAIN is Ramachandran at his best,
a profoundly intriguing and compelling guide to the intricacies of the human brain."" (
Oliver Sacks)
"
Ramachandran is the modern wizard of neuroscience. In THE TELL-TALE BRAIN, we see the genius at work
" (
Norman Doidge, MD, author of The Brain That Changes Itself)

an astonishing book. His humanity, humour and scientific genius inform every passage. The Tell-Tale Brain is a veritable
Voyage of the Beagle through the terrain of brain science and psychology." (
Nicholas Humphrey, author of Seeing Red)
Présentation de l'éditeur
John, aged sixty, suffered a stroke and recovered fully, except in one respect: although he can see perfectly, he can no longer recognise faces, even his own reflection in a mirror.
Whenever Francesca touches a particular texture, she experiences a vivid emotion: denim = extreme sadness; wax = embarrassment; orange peel = shock.
Jimmie, whose left arm was recently amputated, can still feel it - and it's itchy.
Our brains are the most enchanting and complex things in the known universe - but what happens when they go wrong? Dr V. S. Ramachandran, 'the Sherlock Holmes of brain science' and one of the world's leading neuroscientists, has spent a lifetime working with patients who suffer from rare and baffling brain conditions. In The Tell-Tale Brain, he tells their stories, and explores what they reveal about the greatest mystery of them all: how our minds work, and what makes each of us so uniquely human.
