Neuroscience Consciousness

How does the brain generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before. In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the brain events behind a conscious state.

Published in 1908 by three anonymous authors calling themselves the Three Initiates, and closely tied to William Walker Atkinson, The Kybalion laid out seven Hermetic Principles traced back to ancient Egypt and Hermes Trismegistus. It has stayed in print for over a century as one of the defining texts of Hermetic philosophy, New Thought, and esoteric wisdom. But modern listeners face a real problem. You either accept the seven principles on faith the way a listener had to in 1908, or file the text away as occult history.

What if consciousness does not begin in the brain alone, but in the body’s living contact with the world? Modern science often describes the mind in terms of neurons, computation, information, and representation. But before the mind becomes a theory, before perception becomes data, before the body becomes an object of study, we are already moving through a world of color, touch, distance, gesture, pain, memory, and meaning. In Merleau-Ponty and the Embodied Mind: Perception, Flesh, and the Living World, Clayton Louis Turnage explores one of the most important philosophical challenges to ...

Exciting new developments in brain science are continuing the debates on these issues, and the field has now expanded to include biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers. This controversial book clarifies the potentially confusing arguments, and the major theories, while also outlining the amazing pace of discoveries in neuroscience. Covering areas such as the construction of self in the brain, mechanisms of attention, the neural correlates of consciousness, and the physiology of altered states of consciousness, Susan Blackmore highlights our latest findings.

The Neuroscience of Religion: Ritual, Mystical Experience, Meditation, Symbolism, and the Brain’s Search for Meaning examines how religious life is built from attention, emotion, memory, embodiment, and social connection. It asks why ritual actions calm the nervous system, why prayer and meditation can alter awareness, and why sacred symbols and stories can feel charged with significance. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and the study of religion, the book explains how the brain detects agency, forms beliefs, responds to pattern and repetition, and turns experience into meaning. The ...

What if science explained everything about the brain—except the one thing that matters most? A brain can be scanned, mapped, stimulated, modeled, and measured. Neurons fire, information moves, memories form, words are spoken, and behavior unfolds according to physical processes. Yet one question remains stubbornly unresolved: why does any of it feel like something from the inside? In Chalmers and the Hard Problem of Consciousness: Mind, Matter, and the Mystery of Experience, Clayton Louis Turnage explores one of the most important philosophical challenges of the modern age. David Chalmers...

For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime's quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies.
