Descripción
Sumario:Featuring a foreword by renowned neuroscientist Joseph E. LeDoux, 'The Elusive Brain' is an illuminating, comprehensive survey of contemporary literature's engagement with neuroscience. This work explores how literature interacts with neuroscience to provide a better understanding of the brain's relationship to the self. Jason Tougaw surveys the work of contemporary writers - including Oliver Sacks, Temple Grandin, Richard Powers, Siri Hustvedt, and Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay - analyzing the way they experiment with literary forms to frame new views of the immaterial experiences that compose a self.
