[In Context] The Rhythms of Thought

The question of consciousness —how subjective experience can arise from activity in the brain—is arguably the greatest question in science, so much so that it's become well known simply as “the hard problem”, a term introduced by the philosopher David Chalmers. Attempts to answer the question of consciousness draw on man y disciplines—not just neuroscience and psychology, but physics, mathematics, and philosophy as well. Making explorations of this question accessible to a general audience is a hard problem in itself, but Paul Nunez manages to do just that in The New Science of Consciousness.
