In which a scientist searches for an empirical explanation for phenomenal experience, spurred by his instinctual belief that life is meaningful.
What links conscious experience of pain, joy, color, and smell to bioelectrical activity in the brain? How can anything physical give rise to nonphysical, subjective, conscious states? Christof Koch has devoted much of his career to bridging the seemingly unbridgeable gap between the physics of the brain and phenomenal experience. This engaging book -- part scientific overview, part memoir, part futurist speculation -- describes Koch's search for an empirical explanation for consciousness. Koch recounts not only the birth of the modern science of consciousness but also the subterranean motivation for his quest -- his instinctual (if "romantic") belief that life is meaningful.
Koch describes his own groundbreaking work with Francis Crick in the 1990s and 2000s and the gradual emergence of consciousness (once considered a "fringy" subject) as a legitimate topic for scientific investigation. Present at this paradigm shift were Koch and a handful of colleagues, including Ned Block, David Chalmers, Stanislas Dehaene, Giulio Tononi, Wolf Singer, and others. Aiding and abetting it were new techniques to listen in on the activity of individual nerve cells, clinical studies, and brain-imaging technologies that allowed safe and noninvasive study of the human brain in action.
Koch gives us stories from the front lines of modern research into the neurobiology of consciousness as well as his own reflections on a variety of topics, including the distinction between attention and awareness, the unconscious, how neurons respond to Homer Simpson, the physics and biology of free will, dogs, Der Ring des Nibelungen, sentient machines, the loss of his belief in a personal God, and sadness. All of them are signposts in the pursuit of his life's work -- to uncover the roots of consciousness.

Do you want to overcome stress at work and home from the first day without spending a dime in therapy, counseling, and consultation?
Stress is a menace that affects everyone. Do you think you'll be less affected by it if you didn't know it?
This is a misconception that most people have. They believe that only the people who have to see a doctor are suffering from stress.
Stress affects all of us because it is our body's natural reaction. The problem begins when this reaction is serious and becomes chronic.
More than 110 million Americans are currently affected by prediabetes or diabetes, but most are ignorant about it.
Does that make them less susceptible to danger?
The same is the case with stress. The overall stress level of American society is much above the acceptable level, and that even includes kids. In reality, a much greater population is currently battling with high stress which is affecting them emotionally, behaviorally, and physiologically.
Did you know that stress can have a deep impact on your physical health too?
Most people have a very vague knowledge of stress, and they would clearly fail to identify clear signals of stress. This means they might be overlooking their own real health issues as well as the issues faced by their loved ones.
This book will help you in understanding
- The real depth and penetration of stress
- Types of stress and how it matters to us
- Impact of stress on our body, mental, and emotional health as well as behavior
- The real terms in which you need to identify stressors
- Ways in which you can bring down stress at the workplace
- Ways in which you can bring down stress in your personal life
- Ways in which you can deal with your mind causing the stress
- More importantly, ways to deal with unchangeable stressors
- Techniques like meditation, visualization, mindfulness, and goal setting that can help in bring down stress

Описание: This work challenges the current reliance on "The Three R`s" or Replacement, Reduction and Refinement which direct most animal research in the behavioral sciences. The author argues that these principles that were developed in the 1950`s to guide the use of animals in research studies are outdated.
