Consciousness is one of the major unsolved problems in science.
How do the feelings and sensations making up conscious experience
arise from the concerted actions of nerve cells and their
associated synaptic and molecular processes? Can such feelings be
explained by modern science, or is there an entirely different kind
of explanation needed? And how can this seemingly intractable
problem be approached experimentally? How do the operations of the
conscious mind emerge out of the specific interactions involving
billions of neurons? This multi-authored book seeks answers to
these questions within a range of physically based frameworks, i.e,
the underlying assumption is that consciousness can be understood
using the intellectual potential of modern physics and other
sciences. There are a number of theories of consciousness in
existence, some of which are based on classical physics while some
others require the use of quantum concepts. The latter ones have
drawn a lot of criticism from the present-day scientific
establishment while simultaneously claiming that classical
approaches are doomed to failure. This book presents the reader
with a spectrum of opinions from both sides of this on-going
scientific debate, letting him/her decide which of these approaches
are most likely to succeed.
