«Fantasmas en el cerebro» is the neuroscience essay by V. S. Ramachandran and Sandra Blakeslee, published by Debate in hardcover (352 pages, in Spanish).
The book draws on clinical cases of unusual neurological disorders to show how the brain constructs reality and the body image. With simple experiments, it addresses phantom limbs, denial of paralysis, and the bases of religious experience, with conclusions about identity and the self.
The work includes a foreword by Oliver Sacks and a translation by Juan Manuel Ibeas; its original title is «Phantoms in the Brain».
A title for readers curious about psychology and popular science.
