QUOTATIONS ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS

"Most scientists would agree that consciousness emerges from the electrical activity of the brain. And, that in turn, derives from the activity of proteins, the ion channels." (284)

"Although there remains a huge gulf in our understanding of precisely how neuronal activity shapes cognitive function, new technologies promise that we may eventually understand how behavior is generated and regulated. They may also provide new insight into the origin of thought and feelings." (284)

"How our minds work is now the subject of neuroscience. It is no longer the sole province of philosophers and theologians." (paraphrased from 284)

"For our thoughts and emotions, our feelings of self, reflect a maelstrom of electrical signals whirling around the brain." (paraphrased from 284)
