Product Information
This title is printed in full color throughout. From one of the most original and influential neuroscientists at work today, here is an exploration of consciousness unlike any other--as told by Galileo, who opened the way for the objectivity of science and is now intent on making subjective experience a part of science as well. Galileo's journey has three parts, each with a different guide. In the first, accompanied by a scientist who resembles Francis Crick, he learns why certain parts of the brain are important and not others, and why consciousness fades with sleep. In the second part, when his companion seems to be named Alturi (Galileo is hard of heÅ his companion's name is actually Alan Turing), he sees how the facts assembled in the first part can be unified and understood through a scientific theory--a theory that links consciousness to the notion of integrated information (also known as phi). In the third part, accompanied by a bearded man who can only be Charles Darwin, he meditates on how consciousness is an evolving, developing, ever-deepening awareness of ourselves in history and culture--that it is everything we have and everything we are. Not since Gödel, Escher, Bach has there been a book that interweaves science, art, and the imagination with such originality. This beautiful and arresting narrative will transform the way we think of ourselves and the world.

Reviews
"This wonderful book reads like a popcorn novel but informs like a primer on consciousness and where it comes from. In turn exciting, challenging, and thought-provoking, Tononi's marvelous imagination explores the origin of thought, sensation, and feeling. Learning about the difference between the cerebrum and cerebellum doesn't sound like fun, but here you encounter them amidst fat friars shouting in vulgar Latin, nymphs of radiant beauty, and a mysterious juggler on a unicycle. I've always taken pride in being a conscious, sentient being; after reading Phi, I'm beginning to understand what it means when I say that!" Leonard Mlodinow , "Both playful and philosophical, this extravagant book addresses questions about the root of consciousness in a unique way...The book is a visual delight as well as an impressive read, its lavish artwork and literary references demonstrating just how fully complementary art and science can be." - Publishers Weekly , starred review "Giulio Tononi is a man of bold and original mind who has developed a fundamental new theory of consciousness. In Phi , he calls on all the resources of drama, metaphor, and the visual arts to present his scientific insights, in the form of imaginary dialogues in which Galileo meets Francis Crick, Alan Turing, and other major thinkers of the twentieth century. This is an astonishing (and risky) literary device, but Tononi pulls it off triumphantly. He makes the deepest neuroscientific insights come alive." -Oliver Sacks, author of Musicophilia "You may or may not endorse Giulio Tononi's views on how the brain generates consciousness, but you can certainly agree that his book is a garden of intellectual delights." -Antonio Damasio, author of Self Comes to Mind and Descartes' Error "This wonderful book reads like a popcorn novel but informs like a primer on consciousness and where it comes from. By turns exciting, challenging, and thought provoking, Giulio Tononi's marvelous imagination explores the origin of thought, sensation, and feeling.

It's a fascinating celebration of the complexity of the brain and mind." -Boston Globe
Table of Content
CONTENTS Preface Prologue 1 The Dream of Galileo Part I: EVIDENCE : Experiments of Nature 2 Introduction Displacements 3 Cerebrum In which is shown that the corticothalamic system generates consciousness 4 Cerebellum In which is shown that the cerebellum, while having more neurons than the cerebrum, does not generate consciousness 5 Two Blind Painters In which is shown that sensory inputs and pathways are not necessary for consciousness 6 A Brain Locked In In which is shown that motor outputs and pathways are not necessary for consciousness, nor are they sufficient 7 Empress Without Memory In which is shown that many brain circuits that help us see, hear, remember, speak, and act are not necessary for consciousness 8 A Brain Split In which is shown that consciousness is divided if the brain is split 9 A Brain Conflicted In which is said that consciousness can split if different regions of the brain refuse to talk to each other 10 A Brain Possessed In which is shown that when cortical neurons fire strongly and synchronously, as during certain seizures, consciousness fades 11 A Brain Asleep In which is shown that when cortical neurons can be on and off only together, as during dreamless sleep, consciousness fades Part II: THEORY: Experiments of Thought 12 Introduction The Enigma of Consciousness 13 Galileo and the Photodiode In which is shown that the humble photodiode can tell light from dark as well as Galileo 14 Information: The Manifold Repertoire In which is shown that the repertoire of possible experiences is as large as one can imagine 15 Galileo and the Camera In which is shown that the sensor of a digital camera has a large repertoire of possible states, perhaps larger than Galileo''s 16 Integrated Information: The Many and the One In which is shown that consciousness lives where information is integrated by a single entity above and beyond its parts 17 Galileo and the Bat In which is feared that the quality of experience cannot be derived from matter 18 Seeing Dark (Deconstructing Darkness) In which is said that darkness does not exist in a void but requires a context 19 The Meaning of Dark (Constructing Darkness) In which is shown that darkness is built of many nested mechanisms that specify what it is not 20 The Palace of Light In which is shown that an experience is a shape made of integrated information 21 The Garden of Qualia In which is said that the universe is mostly dark, but the largest stars are closer than one thinks, if they are looked at with the proper instrument Part III: IMPLICATIONS: A Universe of Consciousness 22 Introduction Sparks and Flames 23 Nightfall I: Death In which is said that, if consciousness is integrated information, it dissolves with death 24 Nightfall II: Dementia In which is said that consciousness disintegrates with dementia 25 Nightfall III: Dolor In which is said that, if the quality of consciousness is a shape made of integrated information, it can be turned into the only real and eternal Hell 26 Twilight I: Consciousness Diminished In which is said that consciousness can be present in the absence of language and reflection 27 Twilight II: Consciousness Evolving In which is said that animals are conscious, too 28 Twilight III: Consciousness Developing In which is said that consciousness must be present, to some degree, even before birth 29 Daylight I: Consciousness Exploring In which is said that, by investigating nature, new qualia are discovered 30 Daylight II: Consciousness Imagining In which is said that art and imagination invent new shapes within the mind 31 Daylight III: Consciousness Growing In which is said that, by growing consciousness, the universe comes more into being, the synthesis of one and many 32 Epilogue Three Late Dreams 33 Afterthoughts Study Questions Acknowledgments Illustration Credits
