This book presents an engaging account of a provocative new theory which explores how our brain generates conscious experience and where this occurs. It suggests that conscious experience happens not at the whole brain level but at the level of individual nerve cells. The notion that the brain as a whole is sentient is an illusion created by the exquisite organization of the individually conscious neurons. Despite appearances to the contrary, conscious behavior that seems to be the product of a single macroscopic mind is actually the integrated output of a chorus of microscopic minds, each associated with an individual neuron. The result is a theory that revolutionizes our conception of who and what we are.

Industry Reviews

"I enjoyed reading this volume. ... I would certainly recommend this volume to my postgraduate students and to academic colleagues for the sheer provocative nature of the arguments being made alone. It was a refreshing read." (Jason J. Braithwaite, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (25), June, 2017)
