I read the book a while back, I just realised there is a
documentary which covers the same subjects as the book.
Professor Ramachandran presents bizarre cases of
neurological problems where brain dysfunction has resulted
in strange symptoms. It's not new, but if you haven't seen
it, check it out here:

thanks for the link. I'm going to check it out.
ramachandran gave the reith lectures a few years back.
awesome stuff I've listened to many times.

2003 Reith Lectures

Is the book worth getting?

he does cover allot in this documentay, but obvioulsy you
get more depth and insight from the book. If you are into
neuroscience, i can recommend the book by Oliver sacks, 'the
man who mistook his wife for a hat'

this looks really interesting yet it's slightly infuriating
how it's about 2 seconds out of voice sync
