<br/><br/> "Where do our thoughts, feelings, and dreams come from? Such a simple question has puzzled scientists and philosophers for millennia. Foremost cognitive psychologist Stanislas Dehaene and his team of researchers have been working for two decades to turn this conundrum into an experimental question. Here, in thrilling detail, are their findings. What emerges is a breathtakingly simple hypothesis: Consciousness is a process of brain-wide information sharing. Introducing how this brain-mapping breakthrough can test for consciousness in babies, animals, and even coma patients, Consciousness and the Brain unlocks thrilling potential for future research and is a rich reminder of the vast majesty of the human brain."-- Publisher's description.
