Diary of Dr. Jesús Martín-Fernández, the “neurosurgeon of emotions”
In February 2023, Dr. Jesús Martín-Fernández successfully performed the first awake brain surgery using an artificial intelligence test to identify and preserve the patient’s emotions. With this milestone, he not only revolutionized current medicine, but also opened the door to new and fascinating theories about the brain.
In a sincere, open way, the neurosurgeon invites us into his operating room to experience firsthand the emotion and responsibility of holding the lives of his patients in his hands. Patients such as the pianist who underwent an “a la carte” surgery to protect his musical abilities, the polyglot interpreter who had to maintain her five languages, or the man who had an out-of-body experience during the operation. We will also discover how some of the theories we took for granted about the human brain must be reformulated in the face of new findings in neuroscience.
This book is a testimony of how the passion for knowledge, together with technology and the courage to advance despite adversity, can lead to stunning discoveries.
The odyssey of a neurosurgeon who challenges established paradigms about the most fascinating organ in the human body: the brain.
In the line of Henry Harsh, Tell Me What You Feel is the thrilling testimony of the young neurosurgical genius who has managed, through artificial intelligence, to improve the quality of life of his patients.
