Trick your senses and baffle your brain with this crazy book of mind tricks and neuroscience information.

This astonishing science book presents a wide range of brain games and mind tricks, and explains how these reveal the working processes of the brain. It will engage and entertain, and leave you wondering: do you really know your own mind?
