The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. Silberman Books)
by: Norman Doidge


Editorial Review:

An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. In this revolutionary look at the brain, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., provides an introduction to both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they've transformed.

If you find this subject interesting, I suggest you see the video,"Touch the Sound", the story of Evelyn Glennie. Evelyn is a world renown percussionist who went deaf at age 8 and,... more info
