A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Sergio Canavero (MD, US FMGEMS) is a functional neurosurgeon. He is the discoverer of the genesis of central pain syndromes: for this feat, he has been hailed as “benefactor of mankind” and “Italian genius of the first order” by the US website www.painonline.org (2007). He is a leading expert in the field of electrical and chemical neuromodulation: he invented extradural motor cortex stimulation for Parkinson disease, bifocal cortical stimulation for the vegetative state and co-introduced extradural cortical stimulation for stroke rehabilitation. His books include: Central Pain Syndrome (Cambridge University Press, 2007, 2011), Textbook of Therapeutic Cortical Stimulation (Nova Sci., 2009) and Textbook of Cortical Brain Stimulation (De Gruyter Open, 2014), and , in Italian, two books on human sexual behavior, Donne Scoperte and Uomini a Nudo (Ed.Clandestine, 2005 and 2007). He is universally known for his HEAVEN/GEMINI project of head-body transplantation. He also made the news following publication of his project of cortical neuromodulation for psychopaths. He is a TEDx speaker (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/52890140)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For 150 years the materialist-reductionist view of the world has dominated western thinking and academe. Man has been reduced to the level of a machine whose existence is due to a mere fluke. This nihilism percolated throughout society, making human existence of dubious significance. The scientific revolution has made life easier, but not more meaningful. The result has been a spiritual wasteland, that has certainly not improved the human lot. But materialist science has lied. Above all, it forgot Hamlet's lines:"There are more things on heaven and earth, Horatio/than are dreamt of in your philosophy" By upending long-held views, world-famous neuroscientist Dr Canavero proves that what is at the basis of reality, consciousness, is immortal... and so are you.
