Why is the enemy of memory not time, but other memories? How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue, or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? And what do all of these questions have to do with our day-to-day lives? In his new book <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/217866/livewired-by-david-eagleman/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain</a>, neuroscientist David Eagleman offers us a glimpse inside our most mysterious organ—shattering countless misconceptions along the way.
