Un universo di coscienza. Come la materia diventa immaginazione

This book starts out seeming like it realy is going to provide a seemless link between philosophy and neuro science on the subject of consciousness. What it turns out to be is a fairly reflective pop science book with a great deal of conjecture. Like most pop science writers Edelman and Tononi manag Leggi tutto

Hard to rate. Undoubtedly a seminal work. But what could be expected, the book falls in the unfortunate range of 'too old for valuable scientific insight' and 'too new for historical perspectives'. (From a neuroscientist perspective)

Las instrucciones de como opera el cerebro que deberian venir incluidas al nacer y deberiamos leer en cuanto podamos.

Εισάγει έννοιες που μπορούν να περιγράψουν με επιστημονική επάρκεια το φαινόμενο της συνείδησης. Πολύ κατατοπιστικό.

The approach of the authors is purely scientific, and is intended to clarify some of the many complicated aspe Leggi tutto

TOUCHING THE LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF EVERYTHING Within a single human brain the number of potential circuits are far greater than the number of molecules in the Universe. And from this chaotic complexity emerges an experience most of us are aware of but are hardly able to contain into words: Consciousne Leggi tutto

This is really a good book which I enjoyed reading and learning more about neuroscience . In the book they explain and elaborate on the " Theory of Neuronal Group Selection" to explain consciousness. The interesting feature of the book is the marriage of evolutionary theory with modern neuroscience

A primer that brings the reader up to speed on the contemporary scientific viewpoint on consciousness with elegant experimental explanations. This book should be mostly understandable without a science background but note that this is not a comprehensive introduction to the topic. Philosophical posi Leggi tutto
