Phantam in the brain By V.S. Ramachandran

This book presents a fascinating look at how the brain works and the unusual beliefs of people who had damage to their brains, or who had their brains remapped due to amputated limbs. Ramachandran works as a professor and director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California. The writing by Blakeslee and Ramachandran gives us, not only clear descriptions of the complex workings of the brain, but it entertains us through humor and philosophical insights as to the meaning of self, consciousness, and the mechanisms of belief. The book contains many illustrations of the brain and includes several interesting visual experiments that you can perform on yourself.
