The topic of consciousness is truly multidisciplinary, attracting
researchers and theorists from diverse backgrounds. It is now
widely accepted that previously disparate areas all have
contributions to make to the understanding of the nature of
consciousness. Thus, we now have computational scientists,
neuroscientists, and philosophers all engaged in the same effort.
This book illustrates these three approaches, with chapters
provided by some of the most important and provocative figures in
the field. The first section is concerned with philosophical
approaches to consciousness. One of the fundamental issues here is
that of subjective feeling or qualia. The second section focuses on
approaches from cognitive neuroscience. Patients with different
types of neurological problems, and new imaging techniques, provide
rich sources of data for studying how consciousness relates to
brain function. The third section includes computational approaches
looking at the quantitative relationship between brain processes
and conscious experience. Cognition, Computation, and Consciousness
represents a uniquely integrated and current account of this most
fascinating and intractable subject.
