The Emerging Physics of Consciousness

The Emerging Physics of Consciousness edited by Jack A. Tuszynski.

Consciousness remains one of the major unsolved problems in science. How do the feelings and sensations making up conscious experience arise from the concerted actions of nerve cells and their associated synaptic and molecular processes? Can such feelings be explained by modern science, or is there...
