Summary

The detection of brainwaves in the early twentieth century is one of the most important developments in the history of neuroscience, yet few people are talking about them. Neuroscientist and author R. Douglas Fields explores groundbreaking research that shows brainwaves can: reveal the type of brain you have--its strengths and weaknesses and your aptitude for learning different types of information; allow scientists to watch your brain learn, glean your intelligence, and even tell how adventurous you are; expose hidden dysfunctions; provide a simple path for treating psychological conditions; render your thoughts and transfer them to machines and back from machines into your brain; meld minds by telepathically transmitting information from one brain to another; enable individuals to rewire their own brains and improve cognitive performance.
