Soft-wired

Soft-wired by Michael Merzenich is a 2013 Psychology & Mind book written by TED speaker Michael Merzenich, paired here with the talk they gave.

Michael Matthias Merzenich is an American neuroscientist and professor emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco. He took the sensory cortex maps developed by his predecessors and refined them using dense micro-electrode mapping techniques. Using this, he definitively showed there to be multiple somatotopic maps of the body in the postcentral sulcus, and multiple tonotopic maps of the acoustic inputs in the superior temporal plane.
