“Incognito proposes a grand new account of the relationship between consciousness and the brain. It is full of dazzling ideas, as it is chockablock with facts and instances …” – The Observer.
If the conscious mind – the part you consider you – is just the tip of the iceberg in the brain, what is all the rest doing? Our behaviour, thoughts and experiences are inseparably linked to a vast chemical-electrical network called the nervous system. This ‘machinery’ is utterly alien to us, and yet, somehow, it is us.
In Incognito, neuroscientist David Eagleman plumbs the depths of the subconscious to illuminate this hidden world. He offers a fascinating and engaging exploration of the human brain.
