It was not long ago when the consciousness was not considered a problem for science. However, this has now changed and the problem of consciousness is considered the greatest challenge to science. In the last decade, a great number of books and articles have been published in the field, but very few have focused on the how consciousness evolves and develops, and what characterizes the transitions between different conscious states, in animals and humans. This book addresses these questions. Renowned researchers from different fields of science (including neurobiology, evolutionary biology, ethology, cognitive science, computational neuroscience and philosophy) contribute with their results and theories in this book, making it a unique collection of the state-of-the-art of this young field of consciousness studies. First book on the topic Focus on different levels of consciousness, including: Evolutionary, developmental, and functional Highly interdisciplinary

The empirical study of consciousness is in constant progress. New ideas and approaches arise, methods are being debated and refined, and experimental research over the last two decades has produced a rich body of data, acquired in the aim to better understand consciousness and its neural underpinnings. This volume synthesises this data, focusing on how to understand the relations and transitions between consciousness and unconsciousness alongside exploring and distinguishing conscious experience of sensory stimuli and unconscious states. Bringing together leading academics and promising young scientists from across the fields of psychology and neuroscience, Transitions between Consciousness and Unconsciousness discusses controversial topics and ideas, providing an overview of current research trends and opinions, as well as perspectives on theoretical and methodological questions. This is an essential volume for consciousness researchers and students from across psychology, neuroscience and philosophy, as well as those researching modes of visual processing.

Take a new look at healing, health, life, even death, and daily challenges and transitions. Transition and Survival Technologies takes readers further on their inner as well as inter-dimensional journeys into the worlds of healing, transitioning, shifting realities, dying ?????? into the worlds the human consciousness has a right to access and can indeed access to heal and survive here and beyond. We can free our attention to focus upon something much more subtle, abstract, and more real than our so-called "worldly" experiences. Once we are fully liberated and our perceptions set free to see, a new kind of understanding or vision of reality can come to us. We can then see ourselves as something far more, far greater, than we believed ourselves to be.

This book is a comprehensive overview of the main current concepts in brain cognitive activities at the global, collective (or network) level, with a focus on transitions between normal neurophysiology and brain pathological states. It provides a unique approach of linking molecular and cellular aspects of normal and pathological brain functioning with their corresponding network, collective and dynamical manifestations that are subsequently extended to behavioral manifestations of healthy and diseased brains. This book introduces a high-level perspective, searching for simplification amongst the structural and functional complexity of nervous systems by consideration of the distributed interactions that underlie the collective behavior of the system. The authors hope that this approach could promote a global comprehensive understanding of high-level laws behind the elementary biological processes in the neuroscientific community, while, perhaps, introducing elements of biological complexities to the mathematical/computational readership. The title of the book refers to the main point of the monograph: that there is a smooth continuum between distinct brain activities resulting in different behaviors, and that, due to the plastic nature of the brain, the behavior can also alter the brain function, thus rendering artificial the boundaries between the brain and its behavior.

[2025 updated edition: new chapters on why AIs cannot be conscious, the nature of evil, the place of evolution, and the intellectual, and natural-unnatural equivalence fallacies] To explain consciousness we must explain not just sensations but how a three-dimensional world is perceived without relying on an inner eye (or homunculus) that can make sense of depth cues etc. Both problems are tackled here as well as language, aesthetics and morality. The text systematically and ruthlessly dismantles the apparent mechanism of the inner eye (or the homunculus) and shows how all thought and experience and the apparent individual point of view can be accounted for in terms of fundamental quanta of sensation, before going on to show how these remaining basic units of sensation are not (and cannot be) emergent phenomena but must be part of a field effect. The strategy for the text is to systematically remove any and all conceptual need for a homunculus in the explanation of consciousness, and to scrutinize what must be the case for what remains. Step One - Perceptions and the Brain Preamble A: In everyday discourse about our experience, the content of perception—the pale blue of a region of sky, the tone of the bass guitar in the beat of a dance track, or the sweet almond flavour of marzipan—might be thought of as distinct from the perceiving since I can choose where I focus my attention: on the view through a restaurant window, on the music coming from the café opposite, or on the marzipan coating of the slice of Battenberg cake I am eating. However, let us for the purpose of this enquiry start by treating the content of perception and our experiencing that perception—the perceiving, as it were—as inseparable. There is no content without the experience; there is no experience without the content. For our purposes, the perceiving is distinct from the deliberate, or otherwise, action of setting the focus of one’s attention here or there—on the cake or on the music. Preamble B: It is ultimately an aggregation of these content/perceiving pairings that constitutes the totality of our conscious awareness. Which is to say that any other aspect of our brain’s conscious processes: the focussing of attention, acts of will, or anger, greed and so on must either be incorporated into the scheme as content/perceiving pairings themselves, or be explicable in terms of some arrangement of content/perceiving pairings. Which is to say, there is nothing in our consciousness beyond these content/perceiving pairings, so every conscious experience must be capable of expression in terms of some or other or set of content/perceiving pairings. Idea: Perceptions belong to the brain, are generated by the brain, are private to the brain, exist only within the brain, and do not extend into the external world beyond our bodies. Elaboration: The sky is not blue. Rather: photons of light of certain frequencies arrive on the backs of our eyes from the atmosphere. Light receptor cells in our eyes then send electro-chemical signals into the brain, and the brain generates the sensation of some or other colour in response to the electro-chemical signals. Our perceptions are generated by our brains; we do not swim in a sea of perceptions picking up those useful to us as we pass through them (or them through us). Corollary: At first blush, the perceptions described here accord with the philosophical concept of Secondary Qualities.

This new Research Topic is, in part, a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the game-changing “neural correlates of consciousness” concept, first proposed as part of Crick and Koch’s 1990 “neurobiological theory of consciousness.” After thirty years of research and theory-building, scholars in the science of consciousness are perhaps not much closer to a widely-accepted theory of consciousness.

'We have to shift from a mindset of shame, which sees anxiety as evidence of brokenness, to a mindset of curiosity, which recognizes that anxiety is evidence of our sensitive heart, our imaginative mind and our soul's desire to grow towards wholeness.' Three million people are thought to suffer from anxiety in the UK, and it is an issue that affects a growing number of people across all ages. For anyone troubled by obsessive thoughts, insomnia and other manifestations of anxiety, counsellor Sheryl Paul offers shelter in the storm. In The Wisdom of Anxiety, Paul reveals that anxiety, like any emotion, is a signal - a clear bodily invitation to heal and renew your trust in your choices, self-image and core values. Weaving together practical exercises with personal stories, Paul offers medication-free approaches for accessing the gifts in different kinds of anxiety, and especially the anxiety summoned by life's transitions, for example a career change, becoming parents or becoming carers for loved ones. Chapters include recognising the symptoms of anxiety, its origins, the myth of 'normal', the expectation of happiness and a timeline of healing that includes exercises for the body and mind. There are also chapters on parenting in an age of anxiety and the vulnerability of connection and relationships.
