3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting, but hardly applicable outside of academia., October 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey to the Centers of the Mind: Toward a Science of Consciousness (Hardcover)
While it is unclear to me if this book is applicable to readers whom are not involved in academic research, the book is an interesting documentation of a cognitive researcher's thoughts about the clinical frontier of her research. As such, it provides an excellent, though rather autobiographic, insight into the mind of a brilliant researcher as well as the development of an increasingly important area of research.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting, but not very deep, February 21, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey to the Centers of the Mind: Toward a Science of Consciousness (Hardcover)
This is a book written for the public, in general, but it neither can reach this audience nor the scientific researchers, since it is based on theories that can't be proved in a scientifical way.
It's just a book that makes a journey to the world of the mind and tries to bring outside a theory about counsciousness.
I think it fails that purpose... Try to look at Antonio Damasio's books - he really can grasp a way to communicate about what consciousness is, and what's beeing done to study it.
