Description: Rethinking Consciousness by Michael S.A. Graziano Neuroscientist and psychologist Michael Graziano puts forward a ground-breaking new theory of the origin of consciousness. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Illuminating his groundbreaking theory of consciousness known as the attention schema theory, Michael S. A. Graziano traces the evolution of the mind over millions of years with examples from the natural world, to show how neurons first allowed animals to develop simple forms of attention and then to construct awareness of the external world and of the self. Graziano draws from his and other scientists research to explore how this sense of a conscious self led to empathy and made us social beings. His theory has fascinating implications for the future: it may point the way to engineers for building consciousness artificially, and even someday taking the natural consciousness of a person and uploading it into a machine for a digital afterlife. Author Biography Michael S. A. Graziano is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton University. The author of four previous neuroscience books, he lives in Princeton, New Jersey. Review "Grazianos attention schema theory marks a milestone by offering a plausible, mechanistic answer to the hard problem [of consciousness]." -- Aaron Schurger - Science"Rethinking Consciousness is a very accessible work of science popularisation. Theres limited jargon and Graziano guides the reader with numerous pop culture references and helpful analogies." -- Prospect Review Quote "Grazianos attention schema theory marks a milestone by offering a plausible, mechanistic answer to the hard problem [of consciousness]."
