Professor VS Ramachandran, University of California San Diego, examines problems that lie at the interface between neurology and psychiatry. He explains how phantom limbs may be used as a probe for understanding brain functions. Ramachandran will also discuss synesthesia, an inherited condition in which sounds and printed numbers are seen as colored.
