"The father of cognitive neuroscience" illuminates the past, present, and future of the mind-brain problem

How do neurons turn into minds? How does physical "stuff"--atoms, molecules, chemicals, and cells--create the vivid and various worlds inside our heads? The problem of consciousness has gnawed at us for millennia. In the last century there have been massive breakthroughs that have rewritten the science of the brain, and yet the puzzles faced by the ancient Greeks are still present. In The Consciousness Instinct, the neuroscience pioneer Michael S. Gazzaniga puts the latest research in conversation with the history of human thinking about the mind, giving a big-picture view of what science has revealed about consciousness.

The idea of the brain as a machine, first proposed centuries ago, has led to assumptions about the relationship between mind and brain that dog scientists and philosophers to this day. Gazzaniga asserts that this model has it backward--brains make machines, but they cannot be reduced to one. New research suggests the brain is actually a confederation of independent modules working together. Understanding how consciousness could emanate from such an organization will help define the future of brain science and artificial intelligence, and close the gap between brain and mind.

Captivating and accessible, with insights drawn from a lifetime at the forefront of the field, The Consciousness Instinct sets the course for the neuroscience of tomorrow.

Tasty good quality matcha
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
Great tasting matcha! I usually order matcha from the famous us coffee shop but this one tastes even better and is wayy cheaper (vs paying per cup). I can make frozen matcha drinks or have it with a sweetener, ice and milk (chef's kiss). I also feel good knowing that it has great health benefits and I like the fact that it doesn't come sweetened so I can add berries or a sweetener. It's not too bitter like some other matchas are and it gives that earthy taste you look for in matcha. Very delicious 10/10.

Yum!
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
I have zero complaints, the size is ideal considering you don’t need very much for a drink and the flavor is amazing and exactly what I expected, I prefer this to Starbucks as I feel it is a bit sweeter! Blends beautifully great quality and honestly on the cheaper size of what I’ve seen! Good value

Can of marketing containing disappointment
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
When I received this I noticed the made in China label and tried to initiate a return. This product does not allow return, even if unopened. So I went ahead and opened this can of disappointment. Pale, flavorless with a weird flavor. I suppose I could try using it as a fabric dye...
