Neurologist V. S. Ramachandran summarizes his experiences with several fascinating brain disorders, including phantom limbs, neglect syndrome, anosognosia, blindsight and synesthesia, each of which give some insight into how the mind works. This book has some overlap with the earlier and more extensive <em>Phantoms in the Brain</em>.
