V. S. Ramachandran has 1 upcoming event. Wisconsin Union Theater: V. S. Ramachandran (March 10 at 19:30) V. S. Ramachandran is the director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, and an adjunct professor at the Salk Institute. His investigations into phantom limb pain, synesthesia and other brain disorders allow him to explore (and begin to answer) the most basic ... (more)philosophical questions about the nature of self and human consciousness. The ability to concretely and simply describe the most complicated inner workings of the brain, has led him to author Phantoms in the Brain, the basis for a Nova special, as well as A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness. "Ramachandran is a latter-day Marco Polo, journeying the silk road of science to strange and exotic Cathays of the mind. He returns laden with phenomenological treasures...which, in his subtle and expert telling, yield more satisfying riches of scientific understanding." -Richard Dawkins

Author DisambiguationHow many authors?V. S. Ramachandran is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author. This entry includes…
Combine with…What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but malign elves keep combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the elf and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group. Become a member to do this. Some author links |
