Tulsa, Oklahoma – On our show today, an interesting chat with the neuroscientist and bestselling author David Eagleman, whose latest book is "Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain." Eagleman will be in town to read from and sign copies of this book tomorrow night (Wednesday the 20th) at 7pm, at a Book Smart Tulsa event scheduled to happen at Fab Lab Tulsa (at 710 South Lewis). "Incognito" is an enjoyable book that basically begins with one question: "If your conscious mind --- the part you consider to be you --- is just the tip of the iceberg, what is the rest doing?" As a reviewer in the pages of the Houston Chronicle has noted: "Although 'Incognito' is fast-paced, mind-bending stuff, it's a book for regular folks. Eagleman does a brilliant job refining heavy science into a compelling read. He is a gifted writer." And a critic at Booklist thus concurs: "Written in clear, precise language, [this] book is sure to appeal to readers with an interest in psychology and the human mind, but it will also please people who just want to know, with a little more clarity, what is going on inside their own skulls."
