Amazing presentation about brain
-
Thanks to Maximillen, who got be hooked to TED, I might have watched at least 100 TED presentation about wide range of topics in the last 3 weeks. My particular interest has been brain and neuroscience. The most recent presentation was the following: Vilayanur Ramachandran On Your Mind.[^]. The presenter talks about some interesting stuff such as learned paralysis (where brain assumes that some organ is paralyzed) and that the different sections of brain in artists are connected. Anyone else interested in neuroscience and brain here? Any good book recommendations?

When I saw the header, the first thing I thought was, I can recommend some great books. The brain that changes itself[^] Brain sex[^] This is your brain on music[^] The man who mistook his wife for a hat[^] and anything else by Oliver Sacks That's off the top of my head. That first one is amazing, probably the best I've read, but they are all good, and I have plenty more if you're still looking.

The first and the last books look interesting. I will look at them. The two middle ones did not get good reviews for some reason.

There are a ton of books on male female brain sex differences. Brainsex is an early one, but still very good. Feminists will get together to attack it, because they don't want to believe in scientific fact, it upsets their world view ( although it shouldn't ) . I loved the one on music, but Oliver Sacks has another on how the brain perceives music. His, by definition, more covers clinical cases of abnormalities related to music, I'd still recommend the one I suggested, first.
