The new field of Cognitive Neuroscience (the study of higher brain functions) is giving researchers a fresh and often startling look at that elusive subject of study, consciousness. In this collection of writings on the subject, the authors present evidence that consciousness is the integral phenomenon of human experience. Beginning with a philosophical approach that establishes the biological foundations of consciousness, the program then takes up in turn the brain's role in producing consciousness, the mental attributes of consciousness, and finally the bizarre perspectives of split-brain patients.
