Phantoms in the Brain: Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind

Author: V.S. Ramachandran, Sandra Blakeslee
Genre: Non-Fiction


The complexities of the brain explained in a simple layman format. The examples are intriguing and the probable reasons extremely fascinating. Its a real gem of the book. 

One of my favourite lines in the book - Natural selection can only explain the emergence of actual abilities that are expressed by the organism - never potential ones.
