Secrets of the Brain The sense of position and movement is often called the sixth sense; the brain’s connection to the immune system might be a seventh. In this eBook, we examine these and other areas of brain activity beyond the five senses, including the glymphatic system for maintaining brain health, mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms and new research raising questions about “brain death.”

The Science of Consciousness How do neurons create feelings of sadness? Or a sense of a unique self? On the other hand, could conscious thought be an illusion? In this eBook, we examine the biological, neural and philosophical approaches to defining how brain activity translates to the richness of experience.

A Question of Time Is time an illusion? Is time travel possible? Could time end? In this eBook, we take an interdisciplinary look at the fourth dimension, exploring the latest thinking in physics, cosmology, biology, philosophy and more.
