SallyAnne Test: "Self Comes to Mind - Constructing the Conscious Brain" by António R. Damásio (Original Review, 2010-11-15) I think that if you look at the internet and the World Wide Web it gives some insight on what Damásio's book is all about. On the one hand you have the network of servers and cabling and input and output devices and on the other you have the network of websites. We know that the latter sits on the former but you can tell very little about one network from the other. When you look at this webpage, for example, it looks like a single, though quite complex, entity but the annoying advert down the right hand side, for example, may sit on a server on a different continent from the text that you are reading and the photograph on yet another.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-03-24 00:00:00 Gareth Thomas-lord This is a brilliant, high-level look at the state of the science of consciousness that actually has the guts and the gravitas to hypothesize a model that doesn't smack into the mind-body problem. This is not for the first-time layperson, but if you know your Sacks and Ramachandran, this is the no-punches-pulled seminar I was always looking for. There are so many little mindblowing tidbits in here I could talk for days, but the idea of sensory consciousness as an interlocking network of maps whose outlines actually do have a physical correlation to sense data is pretty sweet. EG: Your cochlea are the little spiral cone of hairs in your inner ear that picks up sound like a reverse speaker. There are about 6 spots in the brain fingered through lesion studies and FMRI to have an association with sound processing on various levels--all of which ALSO light up in little spiral cones, each one. His look into memory and habit formation is also an absolute gold mine. For serious enthusiasts, this is a brilliant mind at the top of its form. It will not all come out correct, but he knows that. In the meantime, this is like Hawking for brains--a synthesis that makes informed conversation possible without years of grad school.
