Description
This book offers an original exploration of consciousness, weaving together science, art, and imagination. Giulio Tononi's narrative is presented as a journey through three parts, each with its own guide, to understand the nature of conscious experience.
From the importance of specific brain regions to the fading of consciousness during sleep, and from the unification of scientific facts to the evolution of awareness in history and culture, this book provides a unique perspective on the human mind. With its arresting narrative, it will transform the way we think about ourselves and the world.
Written by one of the most influential neuroscientists at work today, this book is a thought-provoking exploration that challenges our understanding of consciousness and its place in science.
