Publisher's Synopsis
This work presents developments in brain research, including discussions of: neural Darwinism and theories reflecting the work of Gerald M. Edelman and Israel Rosenfield; and left-right brain literature, focusing on the article "Religious Experience, Archetypes, and the Neurophysiology of Emotions" by neurologist James P. Henri. Also included is a review of J. Allen Hobson's "The Dreaming Machine", which proposes "activation synthesis" as a theory of dream interpretation.
