How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? 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 that revolutionise how we think about the senses. About the brain's ability to change, rewire and heal.
