Consciousness and the Brain

Deciphering How the Brain Codes Our Thoughts
in: Biology
Summary:

The book delves into the neuroscience of consciousness, exploring how our brains convert the myriad of sensory inputs into coherent thoughts and experiences. It discusses the author's "global neuronal workspace" theory and presents evidence from experiments and brain-imaging studies to explain the neural mechanisms underlying human consciousness.

Key points:

1. Global Neuronal Workspace Theory: Dehaene's theory suggests consciousness comes from different brain areas sharing and integrating information. When neurons sync up, they send signals to a network that spreads the info, creating consciousness.
