A fascinating exploration of the human brain that combines the leading edge of consciousness science with surprisingly personal and philosophical reflection . . . shedding light on how scientists really think this is science writing at its best (Times Higher Education).In which a scientist searches for an empirical explanation for phenomenal experience spurred by his instinctual belief that life is meaningful.What links conscious experience of pain joy color and smell to bioelectrical activity in the brain? How can anything physical give rise to nonphysical subjective conscious states? Christof Koch has devoted much of his career to bridging the seemingly unbridgeable gap between the physics of the brain and phenomenal experience. This engaging book part scientific overview part memoir part futurist speculation describes Koch s search for an empirical explanation for consciousness. Koch recounts not only the birth of the modern science of consciousness but also the subterranean motivation for his quest his instinctual (if romantic ) belief that life is meaningful.Koch describes his own groundbreaking work with Francis Crick in the 1990s and 2000s and the gradual emergence of consciousness (once considered a fringy subject) as a legitimate topic for scientific investigation. Present at this paradigm shift were Koch and a handful of colleagues including Ned Block David Chalmers Stanislas Dehaene Giulio Tononi Wolf Singer and others. Aiding and abetting it were new techniques to listen in on the activity of individual nerve cells clinical studies and brain-imaging technologies that allowed safe and noninvasive study of the human brain in action.Koch gives us stories from the front lines of modern research into the neurobiology of consciousness as well as his own reflections on a variety of topics including the distinction between attention and awareness the unconscious how neurons respond to HomerSimpson the physics and biology of free will dogs Der Ring des Nibelungen sentient machines the loss of his belief in a personal God and sadness. All of them are signposts in the pursuit of his life's work to uncover the roots of consciousness.
