Kathleen E. Taylor is a popular science author and a research scientist in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford.
[6][7] Brainwashing: The Science of Thought Control (2004), her first book, was "highly commended" and runner-up in the 2005 Times Higher Education Supplement Young Academic Author Award, and also made it to the shortlist for the 2005 MIND "Book of the Year Award".
[10] The Brain Supremacy (2012) uses recent examples from scientific literature and the media to explore how techniques such as fMRI function and how they could apparently be useful for thought identification.
The book gives an overview of the latest advances in neuroscience while also looking at the practical and ethical side of new technologies.
[11] Taylor peers into the future and looks at how all the advances in neuroscience in its social and ethical context could possibly affect human behavior and impact peoples' daily lives.
