Legends speak of myth and magic passed down through folklore – but not all threats come cloaked in spells. After a long journey, the heroes return – older, wiser, and hoping for peace. But peace is shattered when Uncle Julius reappears. He has no magic, no enchanted staff, no ancient curse. Just a voice as smooth as silk and a smile that hides a thousand lies. With nothing but his words, Julius can twist the truth, turn friends into foes, and bend even the kindest creatures to his will. Now, he’s spreading his influence across the land, determined to control every living being – and to erase the name Tobler from the world forever. As ancient stories awaken and strange forces stir, the heroes must face their most dangerous challenge yet: a battle not of strength, but of trust, courage, and the power to resist a villain who doesn’t need magic to conquer everything. Can they stop him before the name Tobler – and everything it stands for – is lost forever?
The human brain is the most complex object in the known universe. The field of neuroscience has made remarkable strides in recent years in understanding aspects of the brain, yet we still struggle with seemingly fundamental questions about how the brain works. What lessons can we learn from neuroscience’s successes and failures? What kinds of questions can neuroscience answer, and what will remain out of reach?In The Brain in Context, the bioethicist Jonathan D. Moreno and the neuroscientist Jay Schulkin provide an accessible and thought-provoking account of the evolution of neuroscience and the neuroscience of evolution. They emphasize that the brain is not an isolated organ—it extends into every part of the body and every aspect of human life. Understanding the brain requires studying the environmental, biological, chemical, genetic, and social factors that continue to shape it. Moreno and Schulkin describe today’s transformative devices, theories, and methods, including technologies like fMRI and optogenetics as well as massive whole-brain activity maps and the attempt to create a digital simulation of the brain. They show how theorizing about the brain and experimenting with it often go hand in hand, and they raise cautions about unintended consequences of technological interventions. The Brain in Context is a stimulating and even-handed assessment of the scope and limits of what we know about how we think.
This book argues that D M Thomas, while best known for his bestselling novel The White Hotel, is one of our foremost fictional innovators, continually stretching the boundaries of the novel to find a suitable form to reflect the the impact of the uniquely violent, often nightmarish events of our times,on the desires and fantasies within us all.

Interest in techniques to control the brain and thereby improve its function has surged, yet how realistic are these expectations and what are the ethical implications? This book reviews the main techniques of controlling brain processes for medical purposes, situating them within ethical and legal debates on autonomy and fairness.
This essay places the emerging brain-Internet interface within a broad historical context: that the Internet represents merely the next stage in a very long history of human cognition whereby the brain couples with symbolic technologies. Understanding this 'deep history' provides a way to imagine the future of brain-Internet cognition.
Originally published in 1986, this stimulating and unorthodox book integrates the major findings of hemispheric research with the larger questions of how the brain stores and transmits information – the ‘brain code’. Norman Cook emphasizes how the two cerebral hemispheres communicate information over the corpus callosum, the largest single nerve tract of the human brain. Excitatory mechanisms are involved in the duplication of information between the hemispheres; in contrast, inhibitory mechanisms are implicated in the production of hemispheric asymmetries and, crucially, in high-level cognitive phenomena such as the right hemisphere’s role in providing the ‘context’ within which left hemispheric verbal information is placed. These callosal mechanisms of information transfer are not only fundamental to the brain code; they are the simplest and most easily demonstrated ways in which the neocortex ‘talks to itself’.The Brain Code demonstrates how popular topics within psychology at the time, such as laterality, hemisphere differences and the psychology of left and right, are central to further progress in understanding the human brain. This book provides stimulating reading for students of psychology, artificial intelligence and neurophysiology, as well as anyone interested in the broader question of how the brain works.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, finds itself on many Top Ten lists. It's a great place to live, work, and play. A small city, it contains a major seaport and cruise terminal, a bustling international airport, a fabulous beach, a world-class yacht center, an inviting riverfront, a dynamic business community, plus an array of cultural and entertainment options. In Tom Bryan and Other Movers and Shapers of Early Fort Lauderdale, author Keith D. Mitzner details the origins, history, and qualities of Fort Lauderdale beginning with the key player Tom Bryan. Tom Bryan touched nearly every aspect of Ft. Lauderdale development, sometimes acting alone, but more often in a group. Ed King was also a trailblazer who built key structures and boats and was active in dredging local waterways. T
What if there was a map of your internal life that could help you see where and why you fail to achieve your goals? The Brain Hut: The Importance of Proactivity and Intentionality, explores the intersection of intentionality with imagination, self-care, self-control, fear, and time management. Within its pages you'll find an innovative map to better organize your ideas on a daily basis in the scope of different aspects or rooms. From sharing interesting real-life examples of The Brain Hut in action to expanding on the neuroscience behind it, The Brain Hut introduces readers to a new way to approach time management and developing good habits. Inside, you'll discover: What IS a brain hut?How can knowing myself better help me manage my day and regulate my responses?What are the rooms within my mind, and why do I need to know them?And many more...No matter who we are, our own internal voices are our constant companions. We are the ones who decide whether those voices are helpful guides or fearsome foes. So which do you choose?
Consider that your brain has the power to betray you. Convince you to ignore reason and logic and create a false reality so intense the result is anxiety or panic.

Epilepsy is a lightning storm in the brain, shocking isn't it. A photographer friend once said that epilepsy is a shocking development. Seizures are silent, unless you saw them having a seizure or they told you that they had epilepsy you'd never know. That is why it is called the hidden disability or hidden handicap. Mr. Miller now has had epilepsy for 43 years, 4 months and has gained unwanted by him, epilepsy expertise, he might not know it all but darn it all, he's an expert, been both a physical and online support group leader (12 years total), 1 year contact person about vagal nerve stimulator for Minnesota Epilepsy Group, 2 years a contact person for the Western Wisconsin Epilepsy Center. Was force committed to a Psych Ward, fortunately only 5 days, was co-educator to 3rd and 4th grade classes so that children could be educated properly before misperceptions should take root, co-educator in epilepsy for day-cares and on one memorable occasion at a nursing home, victim of hellish diagnostic tests, high pain tolerance, has been diagnosed with mental health issues. At age 50 you are eligible for membership in AARP (American Association of retired persons), Mr. Miller has been eligible of 4 years and 8 months. Mr. Miller is available to speak to your group for a negotiable fee, his base fee is $350 per person, 50 persons minimum, the fee can be negotiated by equivalencies, have an AV department, a video taken by them is worth $25 taken off the fee per person, 5 endorsement letters by doctors and administrators is worth $100 off the total fee, Mr. Miller can speak on disability sexuality, coping, trust, acceptance, hostility, and though he really doesn't care for psych people about mental health and what it's like being diagnosed as mentally ill, with active paranoid schizophrenia, anxiety syndrome, panic attacks, controversial myths about epilepsy (3 dozen if my math is right), what it's like living with memory loss due to brain atrophy caused by chronic anticonvulsant use, about harassment and alcohol addiction, a discussion with a woman he once dated he calls the masturbation conversation, he barely remembers it but knows it actually occurred (she enjoyed riding her hand and was sure he was jacking off as they talked on the phone, he was remembering old times and got big and erect and hard and sensitive, it was like tickling and a massager combined and he ejaculated, had no option, there is a term disability masturbation and Mr. Miller would be willing to discuss that whether he does, doesn't, will, or won't. Dilantin use can cause lowered free testosterone and sometimes ED, he has never had trouble getting an erection or ejaculating, he's a virgin at 54 and 1/2 years old.
