How does our 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. We can now pin down the neurons that fire when a person reports becoming aware of a piece of information and understand the crucial role unconscious computations play in how we make decisions. The emerging theory enables a test of consciousness in animals, babies, and those with severe brain injuries.
A joyous exploration of the mind and its thrilling complexities, Consciousness and the Brain will excite anyone interested in cutting-edge science and technology and the vast philosophical, personal, and ethical implications of finally quantifying consciousness.

之前看了一半停了俩月，这两天才把后半本读完。Dehaene语言很好，用了很多生动的表达，让人很容理解他所讲机制的过程。不足之处是有些地方有点啰嗦，逻辑不复杂但是来回来去讲好几句。本书前半部分讲一些意识活动的行为特征，实验设备观察到的现象，解释意识对于生物的功能，引入了global workspace假说。后半部分，花篇幅讲计算模拟，以及假说如何解释疾病和异常状态下的意识受限，以此来佐证假说的合理性... 之前看了一半停了俩月，这两天才把后半本读完。Dehaene语言很好，用了很多生动的表达，让人很容理解他所讲机制的过程。不足之处是有些地方有点啰嗦，逻辑不复杂但是来回来去讲好几句。本书前半部分讲一些意识活动的行为特征，实验设备观察到的现象，解释意识对于生物的功能，引入了global workspace假说。后半部分，花篇幅讲计算模拟，以及假说如何解释疾病和异常状态下的意识受限，以此来佐证假说的合理性。最后对新生儿，其他动物，以及机器的可能的意识做了探讨。将生物关于意识的连接结构作为计算机软件系统架构这个proposal还蛮有趣的。整个理论听起来也挺让人信服，还是缺乏神经元层面的的确切证据，比如长连接谷氨酸神经元对于作者所提的global workspace到底啥作用？ (展开)
