This might even be an Important Book.'Sam Wang, author of Welcome to Your Brain'A beautifully crafted, tightly scripted account of how the farflung legions of the brain's neurons give rise to social awareness and our notions of soul, religion and God.'Christof Koch, author of The Quest for Consciousness'Lucid and engaging. . . . Moves with pace and humor.'Philip JohnsonLaird, author of Mental Models'Do we know the origins of Gods and ghosts? This wellwritten book makes the bold case that new discoveries in social neuroscience can illuminate human spiritual experience.'Terry Sejnowski, PhD, Salk Institute/UC San DiegoWriting for the general public, Michael S.

In clear prose without technical jargon, Graziano discusses his and others' findings in this twentyyearold science and the implications for human spirituality and religion.Michael S. A. Graziano, professor of neuroscience, Princeton University, is the author of numerous articles on the functioning of the brain. He is internationally known for fundamental discoveries about sensorymotor coordination. His previous book on the brain, The Intelligent Movement Machine, was published by Oxford University Press in 2008.
