The Brain Electric by Gaff, Jackie

ISBN: 9781922079589 PUBLISHER: The Text Publishing Company FORMAT: PAPERBACK PAGES: 288 PUBLICATION DATE: 21.10.2015

DESCRIPTION: Imagine controlling a machine with your mind. Imagine a communication line direct from your mind to someone else's. Imagine controlling a prosthetic limb with a thought, or 'seeing' through a camera located miles away. Once the stuff of science fiction, such remarkable feats are now within the grasp of neuroscience. Malcolm Gay tells the fascinating stories of the researchers delving into the intricate workings of the brain to map the neural signals that make up our thoughts, of the group of brave, vulnerable patient-volunteers participating in these ground-breaking experiments, and of the developing technologies that will not only improve lives but potentially revolutionise human capabilities. The Brain Electric asks us to rethink our relationship with technology, our bodies, even consciousness itself - challenging our assumptions about what it means to be human.
