Publisher's Summary
How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? What does a baby born without a nose tell us about our sensory machinery? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts? And what does any of this have to do with why we dream?
The answers to these questions are not right in front of our eyes; they're right behind our eyes.
This book is not simply about what the brain is but what it does. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired also presents new findings from Eagleman's own research, including new discoveries in synaesthesia, dreaming and wearable neurotech devices that revolutionise how we think about the senses.

Changes your worldview!
Though the concepts are very technical, the story telling and narration made it enjoyable even in an audiobook format.

Brain presented as popular science
Wonderfully written and good narration by David Eagleman. I found this compelling after reading an earlier book , The Brain - inside story of you, by the same author

Thought provoking
Livewired brings out some very thought provoking ideas on how brain works and impacts many things around us which we see happening but are not able to comprehend
It also presents a future which can be based on learning from how brain works like intelligent or Livewired machines
The narrative does get a bit technical at times but overall highly recommended listen

Worth reading and enlightening
it gave me a different perspective of our mind ,our life and our environment . The part where he connects biology and technology reminds me Yuval Horari.
