"Phantoms in the Brain"

"Phantoms in the Brain" explores how the brain can generate false perceptions or sensations, such as phantom limbs where individuals feel things that aren't there. The book examines how brain damage, neurological conditions, or disconnections can cause these unusual experiences, revealing how our sense of reality is constructed by complex neural processes. It offers insights into the mind's mysteries, showing that our perceptions are not always perfect reflections of the external world but are shaped by the brain’s internal mechanisms, which can sometimes create vivid, convincing illusions of sensations, identities, or experiences.
