An evening with Masud Husain - Gower Street

Join us for an evening with Masud Husain talking about his book Our Brain, Our Selves.

What makes us who we are? Through the stories of seven of his patients, acclaimed Oxford University neurologist Masud Husain shows us how our brains create, change and can even restore our identity. Husain introduces us to a man who ran out of words, a woman who lost all inhibitions and another who believed she was having an affair with the man who was really her husband.

These compelling human dramas reveal how our identities are created by different functions within the brain. It will ignite new ideas about who we really are – and why we act in the ways we do.

Our Brains, Our Selves is the winner of the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize, and has been featured as a Best Science Book of the Year by the Financial Times, Guardian and Sunday Times.
