Nineteen Ways of Looking at ConsciousnessDespite decades of research, remarkable imagery, and insights from a range of scientific and medical disciplines, the human brain remains largely unexplored. Consciousness has eluded explanation. Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness offers a brilliant overview of the state of modern consciousness research in twenty brief, revealing chapters. Neuroscientist and author Patrick House describes complex concepts in accessible terms, weaving brain science, technology, gaming, analogy, and philosophy into a tapestry that illuminates how the brain works and what enables consciousness. This remarkable book fosters a sense of mystery and wonder about the strangeness of the relationship between our inner selves and our environment. Patrick HouseDr. House is a neuroscientist &amp; writer, with a Ph.D. from Stanford University. There he researched Toxoplasma gondii, the single-celled feline parasite which gets into rodent brains and messes around with their fear of cats. His debut book, "Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness," focuses on whether the brain telling itself stories is just a different kind of mind control. He regularly writes on A.I., science, and technology for The New Yorker and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
