Phantoms in the Brain by V. S. Ramachandran

This is a very interesting and stimulating book. The most interesting is the part on phantom limbs and neglect syndromes. He, like Sacks, listens to the stories of his patients. He has interesting ideas but they are curiously incomplete, that is, incompletely investigated.

The part of the book about the Charles Bonnet syndrome was especially interesting.
