Synopsis:

Written in a style similar to the best-selling Physics of Star Trek, Star Trek On The Brain explores the customs, cognition and behaviour of the characters from the Star Trek films and episodes from the original Star Trek series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Sekuler and Blake, psychologists and Trekkers, use Star Trek stories to describe the relationship between the mind and the brain, the complex connections between emotion and reason, the workings of the senses and the changeability of the brain. Equipped with a glossary of the main characters and a list of episodes discussed, this book is for inveterate Trekkers and Star Trek novices alike.

RANDOLPH BLAKE is Professor of Psychology at Vanderbilt University and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Psychological Society. He is the co-author, with Robert Sekuler, of Perception, a textbook.
