Description

Step into the world of the senses ...Meet the four mechanoreceptors of touch, examine our taste buds up close, discover the link between smells and memories, and learn how optical illusions trick the cells in our eyes into seeing things that aren't there...In this humorous, detailed, yet still accessible book, neuroscientist and illustrator Matteo Farinella takes the reader on a wild ride through key figures and fascinating facts about each of our five senses, describing the most up to date research alongside illuminating drawings and diagrams that even the most scientifically un-savvy will enjoy!

Matteo Farinella received a PhD in neuroscience from University College London in 2013.

Since then he has been combining his scientific expertise with a life-long passion for drawing.

He is the author of Neurocomic (Nobrow 2013), published with the support of the Wellcome Trust and he has collaborated with universities and educational institutions around the world to make science more fun and accessible.
