Book summary
Media reviews
"What animates this intelligent and fascinating book is the reassuring image of its author as a caring doctor. His steadfast belief in the power of the scientific method, together with his intellectual humility and his human awareness of the limitations of technology, inspire the confidence in his readers that he undoubtedly inspires in his patients. We willingly listen to what he has to say and trust that he will guide us safely through the forbidding territory at the cutting edge of neurobiology."

Book desription: Boston [Mass.]: Little, Brown, 1994 xiii, 300 p. ; 24 cm. Index. "Hobson (professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School) sets forth a model of consciousness that posits brain and mind as an inseparable unity and, in self-help fashion, explains how to control one's ``brain-mind'' states to improve health, sleep, memory and learning ability. Hobson splices recent advances in cognitive neuroscience with his own dream research, episodes in the lives of his patients and his personal experiences, such as temporary amnesia due to a car accident.".
