Phantoms In The Brain

I’ve mentioned VS Ramachandran’s terrific book on the architecture of the mind: Phantoms in the Brain a number of times before. He’s also a very good presenter and communicator. Here he is talking about Phantom Limbs, Synesthesia and the Capgras delusion with his customary lucidity and humour. Highly, highly recommended.

    Jim, thanks very much for the Nooderlicht link – I hadn’t seen that. Good stuff. The Reith Lectures I had heard.
