The book explores unexplored theories about the brain, by using several examples and experiments conducted by co-author, Ramachandran.

Through such experiments and by using only Q-tips and dribbles of warm water, the authors discovered how the brain is reorganised after an injury. The authors have brought a combination of clinical intuition and research knowledge to this book.
