How can people come to believe that their poodle is an impostor? Or see colors in numbers? Francis Crick, co-discoverer
of DNA, said of V. S. Ramachandran's first book, "The patients he describes are fascinating, and his experiments
on them are both simple and ingenious." With his unique energy and style Ramachandran now shares his insights
into the mind from such everyday human experiences as pain, sight, and the appreciation of beauty to the ultimate
philosophical conundrums of consciousness.
