Mega Brain: New Tools And Techniques For Brain Growth And Mind Expansion

by Michael Hutchison

The classic book that revolutionized the "mind tech" industry is finally available in low cost Kindle edition.Scientists have learned more about the brain in the last decade than in all of previous history, and the implications of the latest research are The human brain is far more powerful, and has the potential for immensely greater growth and transformation, than was ever before imagined. These discoveries may constitute the most significant development in learning since the invention of writing.Michael Hutchison captures all the drama, excitement, and adventure as we finally begin to comprehend the most mysterious and complex structure in the universe, the source of human culture, a still untapped reservoir of power and skills. He looks at the recently developed machines and devices that may soon allow us to increase brain size and intelligence; regenerate brain cells; trigger specific brain states such as euphoria, long- and short-term memory, sexual excitement, and creativity; and control the brain's electrical activity in order to alter such "involuntary" mechanisms as blood pressure, heart rate, and the secretion of hormones. Megabrain is a lucid and lively account of where the pioneers in brain research are headed -- and where they are taking us.

About the author

My first novel, "Ozone" was the winner of the James Michener prize awarded by the Copernicus Foundation, but sadly was destroyed in a fire before it could be published.After that I traveled throughout Central America which was then in the midst of revolutions and dictatorships which operated death squads. On two occasions I was arrested by government operated death squads and escape execution by sheer good fortune. I traveled with the revolutionary Sandinistas and participated in the overthrow of the Nicaraguan dictator Somoza and remember shooting an AK-47 at his helicopter as he escaped his famous "bunker." While most neuroscientists and all nonscientists thought the human brain stopped growing when it reached maturity, my now-classic "Megabrain" was the first book to reveal the recent scientific discovery that the human brain possessed "neuroplasticity," and could continue to grow (given the proper stimulation) until death. This revelation led to the publication of numerous books of how to make your brain grow larger, smarter, and more complex. While most people still believed that male and female brains were identical, my book "The Anatomy of Sex and Power" revealed that for evolutionary reasons male and female brains have numerous and substantial anatomical differences. This led to the publication of popular books like "Men are like Mars, Women like Venus."
My books have always been on the cutting edge or ahead of their time.
