Journey to the Centers of the Mind Summary

Journey to the Centers of the Mind: Toward a Science of Consciousness by Susan Greenfield

This text offers a unifying theory of consciousness that encompasses both phenomenological mental events and physical aspects of brain function. Using information gathered from clues in animal behaviour, human brain damage, computer science, neurobiology and philosophy, Greenfield offers a Concentric Theory of consciousness and shows how certain events in the brain correspond to our qualitative experience of the world. Demonstrating the ways in which we can interpret the experience of consciousness in terms of interactions among neurons, she explores how much we can learn by continuing to find the links between our physical and mental inner worlds.
