Oliver Sacks

Not entirely convinced on the whole "humour" idea, I decided to explore different people we were introduced to in the lecture.  Oliver Sacks is a physician, author and neurologist that can't recognise faces.  I wanted to see what his studies were about to spark some inspiration.  He has written many books but one in particular stuck out to me.  It is called "Awakenings" and is about a group of people who were asleep for decades and Dr. Sacks studied them and woke them up.

There is a book and a movie relevant to this if I wanted to explore these ideas more...
