Sinopsis
Psychology students are fascinated by consciousness but often find the topic puzzling. This is probably because there are different ways within the discipline to approach it. In The Science of Consciousness, top researchers from each of the three main areas of study introduce their angle and lead the student through the basic debates and research to date, ending with suggestions for further reading.
Max Velmans has structured this collection especially for use as a base for a course of lectures or seminars on consciousness. The Science of Consciousness will rapidly become known as the best student text in this field for undergraduates, graduates and lecturers.

Reseña del editor
In The Science of Consciousness leading researchers examine how consciousness is being investigated in the key areas of cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and clinical psychology. Within cognitive psychology special focus is given to the function of consciousness, and to the relation of conscious processing to nonconscious processing in perception, learning, memory and information dissemination in the human brain. The investigation of consciousness in neuropsychology includes examination of the neural conditions for consciousness and the effects of brain damage. Finally mind/body interactions in clinial and experimental settings are considered including the somatic effects of imagery, biofeedback and placebo effects. Individual chapters, presenting the latest research findings from pioneers in the field, combine to form a stimulating and accessible overview of this emerging science with suggested further reading. The Science of Consciousness will be invaluable for students, researchers and clinicians interested in the developments and direction of this rapidly growing field.
