| Synopsis: |
This title provides a radical and cutting-edge consideration of the past, present and future of brain engineering. Rave reviews for the hardcover have appeared in "Discover", "New Scientist" and "The Boston Globe"; February Interview on 'Gene Expression' an online Science blog; and, Interview with Richard Granger in April issue of "Ability Magazine". Granger has been featured in "Forbes" and "Wired", and both have appeared on CNN. Lynch and Granger include illustrations of the more complex theories about the brain. The authors are forerunning scholars in the future of brain engineering, memory enhancement and the study of human intelligence. In this groundbreaking look at the evolution of our brains, eminent neuroscientists Gary Lynch and Richard Granger weave together history, science and the latest theories of artificial intelligence to demystify the complexities, showing how memory, cognition and intelligence function and which mechanisms can potentially be enhanced. |
