In *Incognito*, neuroscientist David Eagleman takes readers on a journey through the depths of the human brain, uncovering the hidden processes that govern sensation, decision‑making and identity. By examining experiments on visual perception, motor control and social interaction, he shows how much of our daily choices and emotional reactions are rooted in unconscious mechanisms. Eagleman discusses the implications of this knowledge for topics such as free will, responsibility, and the interface between genetics and environment, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to be human.
