Summary
How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? What does a baby born without a nose tell us about our sensory machinery? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts? And what does any of this have to do with why we dream?
The answers to these questions are not right in front of our eyes; they're right behind our eyes.
This book is not simply about what the brain is but what it does. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired also presents new findings from Eagleman's own research, including new discoveries in synaesthesia, dreaming and wearable neurotech devices that revolutionise how we think about the senses.

Amazing!
Another amazing publication by David Eagleman, this book build brilliantly on his last Incognito, both of which provide insight into the new brain model.

Great book
I really enjoyed the book, couldn't put it down until I got to the end. Interesting, engaging and easy to follow - it made me want to delve deeper into the subject. The author reading it made the experience even better, I think.

Interesting Ideas and Well Narrated
I came across David Eagleman on The Infinite Monkey Cage. He was really engaging and accessible. The book did not disappoint and I was glad that David took the time to narrate, as he is easy to listen to.

Wow!
I read this book as part of my own research into what actually constitutes memory, but was astounded by some of the research that Eagleman has done. It details ground breaking and fascinating stuff.
