1. The True Creator Of Everything
How the Human Brain Shaped the Universe as We Know It
In this thought-provoking exploration of the human brain, the author delves into the profound capabilities and mysteries of our most complex organ. By weaving together cutting-edge neuroscience research with philosophical insights, the narrative challenges conventional notions of consciousness and creativity. The book argues that the brain is not just a passive receiver of information but an active creator of reality, capable of shaping our perceptions and experiences in ways previously unimagined. Through vivid storytelling and scientific rigor, readers are invited to reconsider the boundaries of human potential and the essence of what it means to be truly alive.

2. Beyond Boundaries
The New Neuroscience of Connecting Brains with Machines — and How It Will Change Our Lives
A lively, accessible account of the emergence of brain–machine interfaces, chronicling experiments that record ensembles of neurons to drive prosthetic limbs, robotic avatars and even direct brain‑to‑brain links. It argues that decoding and stimulating neural population activity can restore movement and sensation to paralyzed patients, extend human perception and reshape ideas of embodiment, while exploring the scientific, ethical and social challenges of translating neuroengineering into real-world therapies and collective tools.
