'A highly engaging guided tour through the frontiers of what science knows about how the brain works, how to extend its power and how to fix it when it's broken.' - David Gillespie, author of Sweet Poison and Teen Brain
'Tan Le writes with optimism and compassion about the extraordinary evolution of brain technology. Totally inspiring!' - Wendy McCarthy AO
Technology now allows us to unlock the amazing potential of the human brain in ways we never dreamt were possible. Join award-winning inventor and entrepreneur Tan Le as she criss-crosses the globe, introducing the brilliant neurotech innovators and neuroscientists at the frontiers of brain enhancement.
The NeuroGeneration offers an exciting glimpse into the new brain technologies that sound like science fiction, but are quickly becoming reality. They can enhance our ability to focus and learn, restore lost memories, improve our health, and offer life-changing assistance for people with disabilities.
Tan Le shares fascinating stories from people whose lives have been transformed by these inventions: an endurance racer paralysed in a fall, who now walks thanks to neural stimulation and an exoskeleton; a man who drives a racing car with his mind; and a musician who masters Bach faster with headphones that zap his brain with electrical currents. She reveals a dizzying array of technologies in development: helping people whose brains have been impaired by dementia, epilepsy, stroke and injury; providing cranial stimulation to accelerate learning; and designing video games that may replace medications.
For anyone working in business, marketing, health, psychology, education, or sport, The NeuroGeneration reveals the extraordinary opportunities that lie before us over the next decade.
'We're on the cusp of some of the most significant advancements in brain science-and in brain enhancement-in all of human history, and Tan Le has her finger on the pulse of these developments. Her book The NeuroGeneration is a smart, compelling, must-read that will take you on a tour through the most exciting neurotechnologies that will reshape humanity.'
-Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman, World Economic Forum
'Tan Le has reinvented her reality-as an immigrant, an entrepreneur, and a visionary-and now she's reinventing ours . . . This book is an extension of her efforts to further our understanding of how the brain works and deepen our appreciation for the limitless possibilities ahead. And like everything Tan does, it's both exciting and inspiring.' -Zenia Mucha, chief communications officer, The Walt Disney Company
'This book should not be missed by anyone with a brain, or by anyone who is curious about the healing power of the brain! The NeuroGeneration offers inspiration and hope for a more powerful mind and sheds light on possibilities that seem like sci-fi but are actually in the works.' -Roger Craig, three-time superbowl champion
