Book • 2024
In 'The Mind Electric', Priya Anand delves into the complex ways our brains use stories to make sense of illness and neurological conditions.
Drawing from clinical experience, folklore, and medical history, she examines how narratives shape our perception of mental health.
Anand illustrates how storytelling is deeply embedded in our brains, often surging even after severe brain injuries.
The book explores phenomena like confabulation, where brains construct elaborate stories to compensate for memory loss.
Anand also investigates cultural myths surrounding neurological experiences such as sleep paralysis, revealing how different societies explain these phenomena through fables and legends.
