Summary:
"A breathtaking look at the new science that can track
consciousness
deep in the
brain
How
does
our
brain
generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of
our
knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before. In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the
brain
events behind a conscious state. We can now pin down the neurons that fire when a person reports becoming aware of a piece of information and understand the crucial role unconscious computations play in
how
we make decisions. The emerging theory enables a test of
consciousness
in animals, babies, and those with severe
brain
injuries. A joyous exploration of the mind and its thrilling complexities,
Consciousness
and the
Brain
will excite anyone interested in cutting-edge science and technology and the vast philosophical, personal, and ethical implications of finally quantifying
consciousness
