Phantoms in the Brain: Human Nature and the Architecture of the Mind / Le Fantôme intérieur

Ramachandran's curiosity about neurological mysteries shines through in this book. I wonder what personal experiences or scientific questions led him to write this?

The way the brain constructs reality is mind-bending, especially in these cases. I’m curious which stories resonated most with others and why.

The book covers so many different quirks—what guided the selection process? Was it based on what was most scientifically revealing or most surprising to lay readers?
