In Consciousness we Trust: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Subjective Experience

Autor Hakwan Lau
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 feb 2022
In Consciousness We Trust is a synthesis of Hakwan Lau's 20-year research programme exploring the neuroscience of consciousness. Discussing studies from his own laboratory, Lau uses various neuroscience techniques to address challenging philosophical questions about the nature of our subjective experience. Considering the qualitative nature of subjective experience, the book reviews the current cognitive neuroscience literature on conscious perception, attention, and metacognition and puts forward a mechanistic account of experience through the context of personal journey. Chapters cover different major theoretical positions, to relate the nature of consciousness to relevant phenomena such as attention, metacognition, rational control, emotion, and sense of agency.This is a must-read for graduate students and researchers in cognitive neuroscience and philosophy, and an important contribution to the consciousness literature.This is an open access title available under the terms of a [CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International] licence.

Recenzii

At last, the claim that 'nothing worth reading has been written on consciousness' can be refuted. Hakwan Lau's new book is ESSENTIAL if you want to understand the problem of consciousness. He doesn't try to sell fanciful theories. He presents the experimental data and spells out all the implications. The problem of consciousness may be hard, but this book inspires me to believe that it can be solved.
In this provocative and ingenious book, Hakwan Lau has produced the best higher-order theory of consciousness to date.
If you are interested in consciousness as a scientific topic, Hakwan Lau's, In Consciousness We Trust, is the book to read. It is a celebration of one of the most interesting topics in brain science by someone who is passionate about it, and is pushing himself, and the rest of the field, to figure this damned thing out.
