About This Book
In The Brain: The Story of You, neuroscientist David Eagleman explores one of the most fascinating questions in science: how does the brain create the person we experience as ourselves?
The book examines how billions of interconnected neurons process information and influence almost every aspect of human experience. Eagleman explores topics including perception, memory, decision-making, consciousness, emotions, relationships, and free will, showing how the brain continuously interprets information and constructs our experience of the world.
