A Personal Perspective on Neurotechnology

Email This Entry

Posted by Zack Lynch

Steven Johnson has finally finished the draft of his latest book:


"It's a bit more first-person than Emergence. I personally take a number of tests, and scan my head with a number of different technologies, from neurofeedback to fMRI. I also talk a little about the way understanding something about the brain's inner reality has changed the way I approached various events in my life. The general idea is that modern brain science can be understood as an extension of what the great chroniclers of mental life -- novelists like James, or Woolf, or Joyce -- did in a literary form: helping you see your faculties of mind with a newfound clarity."


Make sure to check it out.
