Consciousness

Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist (The MIT Press)

Christof Koch

This book explores the relationship between our subjective, conscious states and the physical activity of our brains. The author, a scientist, chronicles his career and the scientific community's gradual embrace of consciousness as a legitimate topic for study. He highlights his groundbreaking work with Francis Crick and the emergence of new technologies that allowed for the safe and noninvasive study of the human brain in action. In addition to conveying stories from the front lines of consciousness research, the author reflects on topics ranging from the distinction between attention and awareness to the biology of free will.
