Reviews for Neurotechnologies of the Self
“Brenninkmeijer (Univ. of Groningen, Netherlands) explores electronic brain therapies with the primary focus on neurofeedback. This book is as much about philosophy as it is a review of neurotechnologies. … This book is … for those delving into the philosophy of caring for one’s brain.” (J. Swiatek, Choice, Vol. 54 (6), February, 2017)
