consciousness in the brain

How do I think? What is this "I" that seems to be the creator of that thought? Would I be different if I had been born in a different era, in another place, or in another body? Where do I go when I fall asleep, when I dream, when I die? Does all of that originate in my brain? These questions have plagued wise men and laypeople of all ages. But until just two or three decades ago, science did not dare to confront them. Today, especially thanks to the advancement of techniques that allow obtaining images of the brain in operation, the problem of consciousness has entered laboratories and is at the forefront of experimental research. This book tells how things have changed and how neuroscience is beginning to address great challenges
