About this listen

How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? What does a baby born without a nose tell us about our sensory machinery? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts? And what does any of this have to do with why we dream?

The answers to these questions are not right in front of our eyes; they're right behind our eyes.

This book is not simply about what the brain is but what it does. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired also presents new findings from Eagleman's own research, including new discoveries in synaesthesia, dreaming and wearable neurotech devices that revolutionise how we think about the senses.

This is a book that aspired me a lot to reshape my brain for my personal thoughts and also to design a deep metric learning system that I develop in my job. Do not only listen it just to finish or just to memorize what it tells. Let your brain get the input and recreate new ideas out of it. Just turn back and listen if you lose yourself in the thoughts. But let your brain digest the information and adapt your information with the new input. Let it rewire.
Thank you Mr. Eagleman.

Great aspiration for AI engineers and researcher
