Phantoms in the Brain

In this book, Dr. V.S.

Ramachandran and Sandra Blakeslee discuss neurophysiology and neuropsychology through case studies of patients with bizarre neurological disorders.

The book delves into how these disorders shed light on body image construction, mood, decision-making, self-deception, and artistic skills.

It also addresses the 'hard problem' of consciousness, discussing qualia and various facets of the self.

Notable cases include patients with phantom limbs, the Capgras delusion, and religious experiences associated with epileptic seizures, providing new and provocative insights into the human mind.
