Great book!

In addition, Ramachandran talks about his hunches about certain issues such as the relation between neuroscience and arts, implications of mirror neurons in communication and culture and what cross-activations may mean in terms of on going human evolution. Except the chapter where ...

The Emerging Mind

Vilaynur Ramachandran, V. S. Ramachandran

Profile Books Ltd, 2003

Life is a matter of wires in the brain
The two main themes in this short but important book are that 1. by studying neurological syndromes, we acquire novel insights into the functions of the normal brain; 2. the functions of the brain are best understood from an evolutionary vantage point.

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

93 reviews
V. S. Ramachandran, Sandra Blakeslee

Harper Perennial, 1999

Absolutely Fantastic Book
While this book may not be for everyone, I believe that most people will have a hard time putting it down. Ramachandran's ability to explain absurdly complicated concepts with simple language and simple methods is just one of the facets of his genius. After readking Phantoms I burned through at least 4 other books he wrote, but still Phantoms is by far the best.
