Description : From Neurons to Notions—a highly readable and enjoyable account by a specialist in consciousness studies—is must-reading for anyone interested in exploring the dynamics of mind and memory, how we experience time, and how ideas seem to have a life of their own.
Chris Nunn builds a picture of our minds that is especially suitable for the twenty-first century. This picture is rapidly developing in ways very different from dominant views of even twenty years ago. He outlines the ways our minds behave during sleep; how the craze for alien abduction came about; and possible bases for our sense of beauty. In the final chapters, the author extends his ideas to cover near-death experiences (NDE), mysticism, and other topics.
Nunn’s account covers theories and research evidence throughout the past 150 years, bringing the reader up to date with modern views of brain scientists.
