The Brain: The Story of You by David Eagleman

5.0

Written by a neuroscientist, this books gives an insightful description of what we know about the workings of your brain without being too scientific and complicated. Eagleman has written a fantastic book about the enigmatic cell conglomerate that is our grey matter. As with every science, the amount of knowledge we have seems smaller and smaller with the development of newer measuring techniques and despite already having a quite good understanding (e.g. what reagions of the brains take over what functions) there us still a lot of knowledge to yield (e.g. can we/do we live in a simulation and can we reach immortality (of the mind), when is an organism conscientious, how can we treat or reinstate the loss of certain senses (especially hearing and seeing)), a lot of new findings in this field of science seem to lie in the future.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who is ever so slightly interested in human biology and neuroscience.
