Ever wondered how Scandinavians cope with 24-hour darkness, why we feel pain, or whether smartphones make children stupid? Have you heard about the US military’s research into supercharging minds?

You need some Brainology. Originally written for Wellcome, the global health charity, Brainology’s stories explore the mysteries of the human mind. They follow maverick doctors as they piece together the puzzle of our emotions, nerves and behaviour.

Aimed at the general reader, every chapter is packed with insight. Tuck into some seriously thrilling science.

Ouch! The science of pain
Why doctors are reclaiming LSD and ecstasy
Inside the mind of an interpreter
How should we deal with dark winters?
Smartphones won’t* make your kids dumb
You can train your mind into ‘receiving’ medicine

The mirror cure for phantom limb pain
Can you think yourself into a different person?

What tail-chasing dogs reveal about humans

Could virtual reality headsets relieve pain?
