The power of the mind: what can we know?
Dr. James Le Fanu

The neuroscientific revolution has transformed our understanding of the potential of the human brain. The major insight has been the revelation of the power of the immaterial 'mind' to influence the brain's physical structure and function. Dr. Le Fanu's talk reviewed the major developments of the past twenty years with reflections on the five cardinal mysteries that remain.

Dr. James Le Fanu is a general practitioner and medical columnist of The Telegraph newspapers. His book, The Rise and Fall of Modern Medicine, was published in 2000. He is currently writing a history of human biology.
