Interesting delve into the science of brains. Lots of information, some interesting anecdotes, drags a bit in the middle but an interesting read

About 5 years back all the talk was about neuro-plasticity and the advantages it would afford us. This book re-iterates bits of that and adds to it with the ideas of wearable & assistive technology. Some of it is repetitive as it goes through the history that anyone who has an interest in these matters must already have read about multiple times, but quite a lot is new and cutting edge.
Worth a read particularly if you're working with or in contact with people who have issues with hearing or sight.

Really interesting theories about how the brain works, but which there was more direct research. Still cool concepts I haven’t heard before. written like a pop science book with way to many analogies and examples, book could’ve done without reiterating the same ideas 3 times

An incredibly interesting book about the neuroplasticity of the brain and how that features in our senses, motor movements, and future inventions. Eagleman's writing is very straightforward and easy to understand, which sometimes borders on simplistic. However, he may be the best metaphor artist I have ever come across- so it all sort of balances out. It's not a slog to read, but I did find it a bit redundant with second year biology and psychology courses (except for specific case studies). Worth a read for anyone interested in neuroplasticity, or "livewiring", as Eagleman renames it.

Probably the best piece of neuroscience literature I've read. Safe to say he knows what he's talking about and I'm not going to forget any of it soon.

My problem with this book is that it used too many metaphors to explain a rather easy to understand and straightforward concept. Most of the time I find those metaphors unnecessary, I would appreciate if author takes the time and effort to explain the concept in depth rather than just throw in yet another citation. Another problem I had with this book is that it is too repetitive, same underlying concept had been repeated in several chapters, only wrapped with different fluffy words.
Overall still a fun read and I learned couple of interesting stuff. The book targets more for people who wants to takes their first step into the neuroscience wonderland.
