WHAT IS YOUR BRAIN DOING RIGHT NOW?
A Million Things To Ask A Neuroscientist – The Brain Made Easy, went on to become Amazon Bestseller in Neuroscience. The goal of writing this book was to introduce neuroscience and how your brain works, in a fun and simple way, regardless of a persons scientific background.
WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT?
Answering questions that were submitted by the public, exploring what happens when we sleep, use cannabis, struggle with depression, or experience brain freeze. We also explore the strange phenomena of the brain and dive into the future technology using neuroscience. Want to know how anyone can find a career in science? This book has it all.
WHO IS THE BOOK FOR?
Everyone who wants to know a little more about the mushy thing inside your head. I use pictures, diagrams, jokes, and funny analogies, so everyone can enjoy it.
For those who like a challenge, don’t fear – footnotes appear throughout the book to really add some extra spice to your experience.
NON-SCIENTISTS WELCOME!
Explore it for yourself.

Explore your brain with selected samples from the book...
Ever wondered why your brain is so active during sleep? Why you have dreams and nightmares? Why the mysterious, unbelievable, and frightening can all happen in one night?
Neuroscience is helping technology improve the lives of people, even today. But what about 50 years from now? Or 100 years? Can we merge our brain with technology? Preserve memories forever?
The brain is capable of some incredible feats, but what happens when things don’t go to plan? What happens when reality isn’t quite what it should be?

Tired of reading with your eyes? Read with your ears instead….
Have a listen to a preview of the audiobook versions. For now, there are only two versions; Spanish and French. But this year I am recording the English version, so you can listen to the deep jazz-like softness of my Northern English accent 🙂

I wanted to write a book the lift up the curtain of neuroscience and let everyone in. There are so many things that the brain does everyday that are mysterious, yet fascinating. It is amazing that I can now reach so many people with this book.
