Brain Wars - The Scientific Battle over the Existence of the Mind and the Proof

Zusatztext Provocative and accessible! this book is ultimately less about hard science and more about the mind-body problem and philosophy of materialistic science. Informationen zum Autor Mario Beauregard, Ph.D., is an associate research professor at the Departments of Psychology and Radiology and the Neuroscience Research Center at the University of Montreal. He is the coauthor of The Spiritual Brain and more than one hundred publications in neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry. Klappentext A Neuroscientist Offers Evidence of Where the Brain Ends and Consciousness Begins Zusammenfassung In Brain Wars ! acclaimed neuroscientist Mario Beauregard reveals compelling new evidence set to provoke a major shift in our understanding of the mind-body debate: research showing that the mind and consciousness are transmitted and filtered through the brain—but are not generated by it. Following his boundary-breaking neuroscience book The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Case for the Existence of the Soul ! coauthored with Denyse O’Leary! Brain Wars makes a powerful and provocative case against the widely held view equating human beings to complex biological computers. Like Jeffrey M. Schwartz! Beauregard believes that consciousness is more than simply a physical process that takes place in the brain. And here! he presents the evidence to prove it. Brain Wars will revolutionize the way we think about thinking forever.
