Summary: Introduction -- Chapter 1: The Mystery of Consciousness -- Chapter 2: Pursuing Consciousness in the Brain -- Chapter 3: Manipulation Experiments as the Key to Consciousness Research -- Chapter 4: The Quest for Natural Laws of Consciousness -- Chapter 5: Is Consciousness Information or Algorithm? -- Chapter 6: Brain Consciousness and Machine Consciousness -- Afterword.Summary: How does consciousness emerge from a brain that consists only of physical matter and electrical / chemical reactions? The deep mysteries of consciousness have plagued philosophers and scientists for thousands of years. This book approaches the problem through scientific studies that shed light on the neural mechanism of consciousness, and furthermore, delves into the possibility of artificial consciousness, a phenomenon that may ultimately solve the mystery. Finally, two key suggestions made in the book, namely, a method to test machine consciousness and a theory hypothesizing that consciousness emerges from a neural algorithm, reveal a novel and credible pathway to mind-uploading.PPN: PPN: 1804281212Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXB
