"[Consciousness] is one of the greatest tools available in the hunt for patchy spots of anti-entropy." (p 83) Such semi-poetic thoughts -- perhaps unexpected from a neuroscientist like House -- abound in this collection of essays. The essays (chapters), not the comparatively structured theories of consciousness to which their endnotes frequently allude, are what there are 19 of. Chapter 14, however, puts some focus on Integrated Information Theory (IIT), and Chapter 15 is about Penrose-Hameroff theory (Orch OR). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"A concise, elegant, and thought-provoking exploration of the mystery of consciousness and the functioning of the brain. Despite decades of research, remarkable imagery, and insights from a range of scientific and medical disciplines, the human brain remains largely unexplored. Consciousness-the awareness of our own and others' existence-has eluded explanation. Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness offers a brilliant overview of the state of modern consciousness research in twenty brief, revealing chapters. Neuroscientist and author Patrick House describes complex concepts in accessible terms, weaving brain science, technology, gaming, analogy, and philosophy into a tapestry that illuminates how the brain works and what enables consciousness. This remarkable book fosters a sense of mystery and wonder about the strangeness of the relationship between our inner selves and our environment"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
