Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“In this compelling and lucidly written book, the historian Andreas Killen identifies the 1950s as the decade that revolutionized brain science, treating it not as a prelude to later developments in the 1980s and 90s, but on its own terms and in its own context. . . . [Killen] argues persuasively that 1950s brain science had two sides: a mind-control side and a transcendental side. . . . One great contribution of Killen’s book is to trace their interconnections to each other and to the brain sciences that fostered both.” — Nadine Weidman
