Neuroscience of Consciousness
The brain, awareness, and the architecture of experience.
The brain, awareness, and the architecture of experience.
This volume explores the biological and cognitive foundations of awareness. It introduces readers to neural correlates of consciousness, perception, attention, memory, integration, embodiment, self-modeling, and the persistent challenge of explaining subjective experience from physical processes.
Readers are guided through major theories and models that attempt to connect neural activity with conscious states. Topics include attention and reportability, sensory binding, predictive processing, global integration, and the distinction between wakefulness, awareness, and self-reflective consciousness.
The book is designed for readers who want a serious but readable entry into how contemporary science approaches one of the deepest questions in human knowledge: how matter becomes experience.
