Another Day in the Monkey's Brain

<p>ANOTHER DAY IN THE MONKEY'S BRAIN charts a neuroscientist's journey to understand the central mysteries of consciousness. Dr. Siegel began his career in the neurophysiology of vision in the 1980s just when the field was coming into focus with the advent of new computing and imaging technologies. As a pioneer in the technique of mesoscopic imaging he worked with some of the giants in vision science: Torsten Wiesel Francis Crick Tom Albright and many others. With insight and clarity he shows how science is built on such relationships. Along the way he gives a vivid sense of the abundant passion and creativity that drive scientists in their pursuit of understanding. From monkey to man Dr. Siegel finds the beauty in the scientific discovery of self in mind and brain.</p>
