Brainscapes: The Warped, Wondrous Maps Written in Your Brain―And How They Guide You is a book written by neuroscientist Rebecca Schwarzlose, which has been favourably featured on NYTimes, Bloomberg News, and NPR. The book explains how the brain is functionally organized into specialized areas, networks, and pathways which have been characterized for a number of sensory functions including vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell; also for activities and processes such as movement, pattern recognition, attention and comprehension. According to the author, although anatomically diffuse sometimes, brain maps can be precisely defined when active; this information being crucial for advancing technology in fields like designing brain-computer interfaces. The book was published by Mariner Books in June 2021.
