Phantoms in the Brain: Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind – V.S. Ramachandran and Sandra Blakeslee

Phantoms in the Brain is a fascinating book that delves into numerous neurological problems such as phantom limbs. Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on the deep architecture of the brain.

A phantom limb is a condition in which amputees can feel their amputated limb even after it has been removed (and in some cases even feel pain in it which is very difficult to treat). The book covers the cause of this phenomenon, as well as a variety of other illnesses. The authors explain how these can help people understand the brain and give several fascinating stories of patients with these problems. Reading this will help you understand how the brain shapes your perceptions of the world and ourselves.
