Bryce Leong | 1 comments I am looking for the book about the Mind and Brain. It was a Gift Book, non fiction from Barnes and Noble. Got it 2004 and copyright was probably around 2004, not to much earlier it felt like (at least that latest edition) Because it was a special gift book, very specific. Heavily illustarted and concise. Like a fun how-to, learn these fun facts. One page/part for example, stated that the brain accesses different parts when eyes are looking in different directions. and you can figure out what someone is thinking about based on what direction their eyes are looking. Like, accessing a memory is for example down and to the side. They had several though, although you can still google that one it had at least six different. Like for up and right, up and left, down and right down and left, middle, straight forward at you, etc. It was an amazing psychology, much more simple fun, and reading much more intelligently than the crazy reaching books that came out in 2010s and after about the brain. It was straight science and I think i learned a lot. It was beuaitfully packaged, designed and well written. I loved it. The cover was gold, soft cover, or gold line arpund. The picture on the cover wasof a brain and i think it also was of hold. The tone if the title was making it sound like the brain had all these cool powers you could learn about.
