Publisher Description What is consciousness and how can a brain, a mere collection of neurons, create it? In Consciousness and the Social Brain, Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano lays out an audacious new theory to account for the deepest mystery of them all. The human brain has evolved a complex circuitry that allows it to be socially intelligent. This social machinery has only just begun to be studied in detail. One function of this circuitry is to attribute awarenessto others: to compute that person Y is aware of thing X. In Grazianos theory, the machinery that attributes awareness to others also attributes it to oneself. Damage that machinery and you disrupt your ownawareness. Graziano discusses the science, the evidence, the philosophy, and the surprising implications of this new theory. Now in an affordable paperback edition! Author Biography Michael S. A.
