Critics Review

“The scope of this book is impressive … it provokes us to think deeply about our views on what we consider as reality.”—John H. Kaas, Vanderbilt University“Miguel is proposing an Enlightenment of the 21st century, in which all the old values of human society are reassessed and new values are proposed based on how the human brain is the measure of all things.”—Gordon Shepherd, Yale Medical School, author of Creating Modern Neuroscience: The Revolutionary 1950s“Nicolelis’s neuroscientific descriptions that form the basis of his theories expand and transcend current thinking in neuroscience—a characteristic that has epitomized his scientific career.”—Ron Frostig, University of California Irvine“In a sweeping style befitting his passion for neuroscience, Miguel Nicolelis takes the reader on a journey across his decades of scientific inquiry regarding a most amazing organ and into a future he foresees, challenging contemporary thinking. E pur si muove.”—Marshall G. Hussain Shuler, Johns Hopkins University“Miguel Nicolelis’ marvelous book is a great adventure story about the brain’s central role in creating our conception of the universe and its contents; it is colorful, electrifying and deep. He’s one of our great scientific adventurers and this book leverages his expertise and passion in formulating a theory on the origins of everything.“—Asif A. Ghazanfar, Professor of Neuroscience, Psychology and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University
