"Secrets of the Mind" is really an exposition of Dr. Vilayanur (no, he's not a villain!) Ramachandrans research in behavioural neurology, explaining phantom limbs, blind sight and other visual perception related issues, the Capgras delusion and the hyperreligiosity tendencies related to temporal lobe epilepsy. But the real secret Ramachandran reveals, is that the mind whose normal working seems so commonplace and simple that we take it for granted, has a profoundly intricate and complicated root in our brains, that only reveals itself in the unfortunate cases of people suffering from perceptional and emotional issues.
