Book Description
The true story of the doctor who invented the MRI: “A fascinating account of how a significant medical development came about” (The New York Times). Dr. Raymond Damadian was plagued with a mysterious and persistent stomach pain, yet physicians assured him that they could find nothing wrong. To find the answer to his ailment, Damadian would spend the ensuing twelve years building a machine that would change medicine. Nuclear magnetic resonance scanning, now called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was a revolution: a safe means to determine the makeup of every cell in the human body, distinguishing healthy cells from sick. Although Damadian’s ideas were met with skepticism and outright opposition from the medical community, this machine would go on to save the lives of millions by diagnosing disease while effective treatment was still possible. In short, it was a medical miracle. The story of Damadian’s quest—battling skeptical peers, money troubles, and more with an intensity approaching obsession—is one of the great legends of medical research. Sonny Kleinfield, acclaimed reporter and author, captures Damadian’s remarkable triumph against the odds with compassion and a keen eye. A Machine Called Indomitable is scientific storytelling at its finest.

Book Description
This is the LEAKED AND ALMOST FULLY REDACTED copy of “THE RAT PAPERS “. Contained within is the sworn testimony of Benedict, perhaps our greatest Traitor, or Hero. You decide. You will learn about the pack of highly-intelligent New York City Rats who, with the help of some odd-ball human mercenaries, have connived to take control of the “Civilized” world – and how their plot almost failed. Some might say what is told here reveals a Dystopian version of our world. Of course, this depends upon which world you are residing in at present. In the past, you might have heard: “What will be, will be.” ...And “It is what it is.” However, THE RAT PAPERS will tell you “What will be is what it is.” ...And why you better be prepared to duck.

Book Description
This book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and Miguel Nicolelis, Professor of Neurobiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology and Neuroscience and Orthopaedic Surgery and Co-Director of the Center for Neuroengineering at Duke University. This thought-provoking conversation examines Miguel Nicolelis’ extensive and important research for over 20 years now and how he has been blurring the line between science fiction and science fact, developing increasingly sophisticated ways of harnessing the thoughts of rats, monkeys and humans to drive mechanical devices in the rapidly emerging field of brain-machine interfaces. As he continues to explore how best to apply this fascinating technology to liberate paralysis victims and Parkinson’s sufferers from their neurological constraints, Nicolelis remains focused on challenging conventional wisdom of what the brain is and how it works, consistently probing the evolving frontier between body and mind. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, From Science Fiction to Science Fact, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: I. Revolutionary Rumblings - Beyond 1:1 maps II. Plowing Ahead - Pivotal results and scientific scepticism III. Interface - Powering robots with monkey minds IV. Against Reductionism - The pernicious influence of physicists V. Incarnating Our Surroundings - How the brain blurs “outside” and “inside” VI. Imposing Representations - How the brain interacts with the world VII. Distributed vs. Local - The big issue VIII. Technological Applications - From medical rehabilitation to a joint operating system IX. Getting Metaphysical - The brain as a reality-mediator X. Final Questions - Big ones, dark ones and ontological ones About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series: This book is part of an expanding series of 100+ Ideas Roadshow conversations, each one presenting a wealth of candid insights from a leading expert in a relaxed and informal setting to give non-specialists a uniquely accessible window into frontline research and scholarship that wouldn't otherwise be encountered through standard lectures and textbooks.

Book Description
MACHINE OF DEATH tells thirty-four different stories about people who know how they will die. Prepare to have your tears jerked, your spine tingled, your funny bone tickled, your mind blown, your pulse quickened, or your heart warmed. Or better yet, simply prepare to be surprised. Because even when people do have perfect knowledge of the future, there's no telling exactly how things will turn out.

Book Description
This book provides an introduction to the emerging area of “Brain-Machine Interfaces,” with emphasis on the operation and practical design aspects. The book will help both electrical & bioengineers as well as neuroscience investigators to learn about the next generation brain-machine interfaces. The comprehensive review and design analysis will be very helpful for researchers who are new to this area or interested in the study of the brain. The in-depth discussion of practical design issues especially in animal experiments will also be valuable for experienced researchers.
