Can the mind be explained by what we know about the brain? Is a person’s being determined by their body alone or by their mind and body as separate elements? 

With a foreword by Charles W. Hendel, an introduction by William Feindel, and reflections by Sir Charles Symonds, “The Mystery of the Mind” is Penfield’s compelling  personal account of his experiences as a neurosurgeon and scientist observing the inner workings of the brain in conscious patients.
