Este é o título do livro abordado hoje. É de 2003 (The MIT Press), e foi editado por Bernard J. Baars, William P. Banks e James B. Newman. A capa é tão horripilante que nem vou usá-la como ilustração dessa postagem. Uma foto de Baars já resolve o assunto.
Em seu artigo/capítulo Consciousness and Complexity, Giulio Tononi e Gerald M. Edelman perguntam: "Qual é o substrato neural da experiência consciente? Enquanto William James concluiu que é o cérebro todo, recentes abordagens tentaram concentrar o foco: existem neurônios dotados de localização especial ou propriedade intrínseca que sejam necessários e suficientes para a experiência consciente?" (p. 993) Eu fico com James, ou melhor, com Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza: nossa consciência é todo o nosso corpo (como ele nos disse em aula do curso pré-vestibular Miguel Couto-Vetor, em 1969).
O livro é composto de artigos/capítulos publicados em datas e locais diversos. Ao invés de tecer comentários, uma tarefa herculana e desnecessária, o melhor é mostrar o índice (que só encontrei completo desse jeito tirando da edição japonesa):

Anyways, aqui estão as abobrinhas da editoria: Consciousness is at the very core of the human condition. Yet only in recent decades has it become a major focus in the brain and behavioral sciences. Scientists now know that consciousness involves many levels of brain functioning, from brainstem to cortex. The almost seventy articles in this book reflect the breadth and depth of this burgeoning field. The many topics covered include consciousness in vision and inner speech, immediate memory and attention, waking, dreaming, coma, the effects of brain damage, fringe consciousness, hypnosis, and dissociation. Underlying all the selections are the questions, What difference does consciousness make? What are its properties? What role does it play in the nervous system? How do conscious brain functions differ from unconscious ones? The focus of the book is on scientific evidence and theory. The editors have also chosen introductory articles by leading scientists to allow a wide variety of new readers to gain insight into the field.
