in 2016. In this book, Nicolelis explores the thesis that the human brain would be the center of the universe and tries to explain the history, the culture and the human civilization based on recently discovered principles regarding human brain function: “The True Creator of Everything is a story about the creations of the human brain and the center position it should occupy in the cosmology of the universe.” According to the author, the human mind works in a relative way, meaning that every movement is relative and the mind creates its own model of reality, which is constantly renewed with the information it obtains from the world. Such theory is called by Nicolelis as the “Theory of The Relativistic Brain.” Building on his work with mathematician Ronald Cicurel, which they described in their 2015 monograph, he argues for a more center position for the human brain in other areas of scientific knowledge, beyond just neuroscience. Nicolelis takes inspiration from Ernst Gombrich's “The Story of Art”. Further reading Selected Publications on Brain-Machine Interfaces . . . . . .
