Consciousness: How Matter Becomes Imagination

Consciousness: How Matter Becomes Imagination

by Giulio Tononi (Author), Gerald M Edelman (Author), Gerald M Edelman (Author), Giulio Tononi (Author)

Synopsis

What goes on in our heads when we have a thought? With this book, Edelman and Tononi present an empirically-supported full-scale theory of consciousness. They apply all of the resources and insights of modern neuroscience, from the largest computermodels ever constructed to new experiments that detect the changes in brain activity. This pioneering work represents a landmark in our growing understanding of consciousness.
