review 1: an interesting book; couple of things amazing to unveil during reading. First is his post-doc advisor is a still-active neuroscientist in my department.Obama's brain project just set out this year. Some people say this book is the reason for this marathon project. After monthly observation (read), I found this book do touch your brain to re-think about methods of studying human brain----1, are we on the right track of neural signal recording. 2, how psychophysics affects our daily lives.anyhow,I would not mind reading this book again during my studies
review 2: Beyond Boundaries is a very interesting but difficult read. Dr. Nicolelis describes his innovative experiments with brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and discusses the clinical and philosophical implicatio... morens of these new neuroscience technologies. He's done some truly incredible research--for instance, he designed a project in which electrical brain activity was transmitted from Durham, NC to Kyoto, Japan in real time, allowing a monkey to control an overseas robot with its mind alone. This book is extremely well-written but highly technical; I had to read certain parts several times to understand them. Still, I think Beyond Boundaries is worth reading if you have a background in psychology and/or are interested in the subject.Side note: Dr. Nicolelis works at Duke! less
