In this stunning and inspiring work, Duke University neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis shares his revolutionary insights into how the brain creates thought and the human sense of self--and how this might be augmented by machines, so that the entire universe will be within our reach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Boundaries\u003c\/i\u003e draws on Nicolelis's ground-breaking research with monkeys that he taught to control the movements of a robot located halfway around the globe by using brain signals alone. Nicolelis's work with primates has uncovered a new method for capturing brain function--by recording rich neuronal symphonies rather than the activity of single neurons. His lab is now paving the way for a new treatment for Parkinson's, silk-thin exoskeletons to grant mobility to the paralyzed, and breathtaking leaps in space exploration, global communication, manufacturing, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Boundaries\u003c\/i\u003e promises to reshape our concept of the technological future, to a world filled with promise and hope.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiguel Nicolelis\u003c\/b\u003e, M.D. Ph.D., is the Anne W.
