Phantoms in the Brain !!

Iam not going to talk about brain..I can talk indeed,because i just read the book "Phantoms in the Brain" !!

It was on a Cold Mid January long week end, I was in Pittsburgh with Arunettan and Susmitoppol..I saw this book when i was checking out Arunettans books collections.He said,read this,you will be amazed.I said a silent OK,"I hate biology!!"

But the book was awesome.The book gave me a wonderful idea about neurology, Why people see God,and even the Hindu belief of "Everything Maya".I liked the way he started the book..he said "In any field,find the strangest thing and then explore it".This very sentence was enough to present his caliber!

He explained about the Phantom limbs..The pain that they feel in the body part that they dont have.I was amazed by reading this.How will you feel the pain in the Thumb if you dont have a Thumb.And the thing is ,how do you cure the pain of his Thumb if he does not even have a Thumb.

Why does some people claim that they had interactions with God? Are they so special?
Ramanujan could even write any theorem with out even thinking of the logic..is he so good in all other things in his life?

Why did Hindu Mythology stress about "Maya"?

V Ramachandran has brilliantly presented all these topics.I did not even feel that am reading something about Brain!!

But I bet,you need a very good patience if you want to finish it!!
