Consciousness and the Brain: Deciphering How the Brain Codes Our Thoughts
2014年大獎獲得者
從“大腦中的閱讀”（Reading in the Brain）這位著名的作者，可以看到可以追踪大腦深處意識的新科學
我們的大腦如何產生有意識的思想？為什麼我們的許多知識仍然是無意識的？由於聰明的心理和大腦成像實驗，科學家比以往任何時候都更接近於破解這個謎團。
在這本書中，Stanislas Dehaene描述了他的實驗室和世界其他認知神經科學家的實驗定義，測試和解釋意識狀態背後大腦所做的開創性工作。當人們意識到一條信息，並理解無意識的計算在我們如何做出決定中所起的關鍵作用時，我們可以把這些神經元固定下來。新興理論能夠對動物，嬰兒以及嚴重腦損傷患者進行意識測試。
對心靈及其激動人心的複雜性，意識與大腦的快樂探索，將激發對尖端科學技術感興趣的人以及最終量化意識的巨大哲學，個人和倫理意義。
WINNER OF THE 2014 BRAIN PRIZE
From the acclaimed author of Reading in the Brain, a breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness deep in the brain
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.
