This book traces the fascinating story of man's attempt to control his own brain. Based on the author's first-hand knowledge of brain research and on his world-wide experience with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and psychiatrists investigating the therapeutic value of various brain control techniques, the book provides a critical examination of brain stimulation and psychosurgery, and reveals a great deal about how the brain functions.
