Summary note

"This book describes neuroscience of conventional nonconscious mental functions as well as not so conventional functions like creativity, hypnosis, and extrasensory perception. It proposes novel stimulating ideas on the science of the unconscious mind. Since scientific terms are explained in simple language, prior knowledge of neuroscience is not required to understand concepts and mysteries of nonconscious mind described in this book. The book introduces the science of nonconscious mind to readers with or without neuroscience background."--Publisher description.
