Lights on: how understanding consciousness helps us understand the universe [audio-enabled device] / by Harris, Annaka,authornarrator(CARDINAL)610457; Playaway Digital Audio.(CARDINAL)565887; Playaway Products, LLC.(CARDINAL)868990;
Read by the author and a full cast."As accessible as it is awe-inspiring, this exclusive audio documentary by New York Times bestselling author Annaka Harris explores the unknown corners of consciousness and the cosmos. Is consciousness a fundamental building block of the universe, like gravity? Can humans develop new senses through neuroscience? And can artificial intelligence ever truly replicate the subjective experience of being conscious? Join Annaka Harris as she calls on distinguished experts in science and philosophy to find answers to today's most perplexing questions about our minds and the universe at large. Through interviews with thinkers such as Brian Greene, David Eagleman, Anil Seth, Carlo Rovelli, and more, Harris presents diverse perspectives on whether consciousness could be considered a fundamental aspect of the universe. This revolutionary idea challenges traditional neuroscience and quantum physics, shattering what we think we know about ourselves and scientific phenomena as foundational as space and time. Lights On also questions how a new understanding of consciousness might affect our perception of existence, our notions of free will, the development of technology, and the future of scientific discovery. In a follow-up to her seminal book, Conscious, this audio original documentary offers beginners and experts alike a chance to unravel some of humankind's most enduring puzzles. Where Conscious presents new questions about felt experience, Lights On seeks to find the answers."--Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.

The genius within : unlocking your brain's potential / by Adam, David,1972-author.(CARDINAL)407529;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 317-326).Our brain revolution -- Mensa material -- A problem of intelligence -- Treating and cheating -- Pills and skills -- The mutual autopsy society -- Born with brains -- Current thinking -- The man who learned to cry -- The brain and other muscles -- The little girl who could draw -- The genius within -- The happiest man on death row -- On the brain train -- Faster, stronger, smarter."David Adam explores the groundbreaking neuroscience of cognitive enhancement that is changing the way the brain and the mind works--to make it better, sharper, more focused and, yes, more intelligent. He considers how we measure and judge intelligence, taking us on a fascinating tour of the history of brain science and medicine, from gentlemen scientist brain autopsy clubs to case studies of mental health patients with extraordinary savant abilities. In addition to reporting on the latest research and fascinating case studies, David also goes on his own personal journey to investigate the possibilities of neuroenhancement, using himself as a guinea pig for smart pills and electrical brain stimulation in order to improve his IQ scores and cheat his way into MENSA. Getting to the heart of how we think about intelligence and mental ability, The Genius Within plunges into deep ethical, neuroscientific, and historical pools of enquiry about the science of brain function, untapping potential, and what it means for all of us. Going to the heart of how we consider, measure, and judge mental ability, The Genius Within asks difficult questions about the science that could rank and define us, and inevitably shape our future."--Dust jacket.

Consciousness and the brain : deciphering how the brain codes our thoughts / by Dehaene, Stanislas,author.(CARDINAL)374931;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-318) and index.The stuff of thought -- Consciousness enters the lab -- Fathoming unconscious depths -- What is consciousness good for? -- The signatures of a conscious thought -- Theorizing consciousness -- The ultimate test -- The future of consciousness."A breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness deep in the brain. How does our brain generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before. In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the brain events behind a conscious state. We can now pin down the neurons that fire when a person reports becoming aware of a piece of information and understand the crucial role unconscious computations play in how we make decisions. The emerging theory enables a test of consciousness in animals, babies, and those with severe brain injuries. A joyous exploration of the mind and its thrilling complexities, Consciousness and the Brain will excite anyone interested in cutting-edge science and technology and the vast philosophical, personal, and ethical implications of finally quantifying consciousness"--Provided by publisher.
