Eagleman points out that our sense of ourselves as coherent, free-standing personalities is at odds with the most basic findings about the workings of the human brain. ![]() It’s well known that the human brain is made up of a complex web of instinct, unconscious impulses, automatic systems, emotion, and a dozen other forces, most of which we aren’t even aware of, and all of which affect every thought and action we make. The Baylor School of Medicine neuroscientist has studied the most complex system in the world-the human brain-and drawn fascinating conclusions in his new book, Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain. “There’s a war going on in the three-pound ball of gray mush trapped in your skull,” David Eagleman says. ![]()
