Audible Editor Reviews
Every article in this collection is fascinating, but two in particular stand out. One explores the mysteries of déjà vu and current thinking about why the apparently unfamiliar can sometimes seem so familiar. Is it the brain's attempt to resurrect suppressed or forgotten memories? Another article describes a remarkable neurological disorder that sounds like the plot of a bad science fiction movie: victims believe their family and friends have been replaced by aliens, robots, or human doubles. The provocative lesson is that "even our normal reality may be little more than an illusion". Scary stuff.If you're suspicious that the subject matter and style of writing might be a bit inaccessible, fear not! Everyone who listens will learn something new about how the mind works - and expand their mind at the same time.
Publisher's Summary
The cover story in this issue explains how creativity and brilliance arises in all of us. Then, we'll take a look at the latest theories behind the experience commonly known as 'deja-vu'. Also, we'll learn about a mental breakdown that causes apathy so extreme it could become deadly, as well as Capgras syndrome, a perception disorder that causes people to think their loved ones have been replaced by extraterrestrial body doubles. Then, we'll take a look at the relationship between neuroscience and the law, as lawyers attempt to convince juries that defendants may not be responsible for their crimes. Finally, we'll delve into the origins of modern science with a look at Leonardo Da Vinci's earliest experiments and his observations about the brain.

"Loved it"
My wife and I loved this title. We don't know why there are not more issues like this. We would love to see more of them. The science of the body/brain connections and understanding of our own behavior are just fascinating to us. We can't get enough of the topic, and this magazine was definitely up our alley. To anyone interested in the mind, indulge yourself.
