- How our brains can repair and improve themselves, erase traumatic memories
- How we can stay mentally alert longer - and how we may be able to halt or even reverse Alzheimers
- How we can control technology with brain waves, including prosthetic devices, machinery, computers - and even spaceships or clones.

Judith Horstman presents a highly informative and entertaining look at the future of your brain, based on articles from Scientific American and Scientific American Mind magazines, and the work of today's visionary neuroscientists.
