It was discussed that the book focuses on human individuality, particularly in the way senses function and how we perceive the world differently.
The book unique is one that will provide a link to in the show no captions and it's a very interesting idea that we are all different especially coming from a neuroscientist who were trained at least similarly to learn that sure the bumps and ripples of the brain in the fine wiring of the brain is different and we are all unique and different that we have different shapes a game or apologies but focusing on human individuality is not something that modern neuroscience or classic neuroscience.
it's something that that requires a lot of attention and to me what's really fascinating is that when you look at the variation in the way sense organs function.
Almost a miracle that we can agree on a common reality at all even within the human species and this is true of more of of of some senses more than others obviously in your world in the retina we have various kinds of loss of color vision that are well known and some other more complicated phenomena having to do with impairments in the perception of motion or form.
But the place where this really happens is in the old factory system so we have approximately 400 functional receptors for different odor and molecule smells in our nose and if you sequence the genomes of many people you find that the DNA that encodes for these odorant receptors is.
Unusually variable from individual to individual as matter of fact if you take two different people on average they will have functional differences in 30% of their odor receptors and if you do as let's leave us all in her colleagues did at Rockefeller University and give.
