Current mainstream opinion in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind holds that all aspects of human mind and consciousness are generated by physical processes occurring in brains. Views of this sort have dominated recent scholarly publication. The present volume, however, demonstrates empirically that this reductive materialism is not only incomplete but false. The authors systematically marshal evidence for a variety of psychological phenomena that are extremely difficult, and in some cases clearly impossible, to account for in conventional physicalist terms. Topics addressed include phenomena of extreme psychophysical influence, memory, psychological automatisms and secondary personality, near-death experiences and allied phenomena, genius-level creativity, and 'mystical' states of consciousness both spontaneous and drug-induced. The authors further show that these rogue phenomena are more readily accommodated by an alternative 'transmission' or 'filter' theory of mind/brain relations advanced over a century ago by a largely forgotten genius, F. W. H. Myers, and developed further by his friend and colleague William James. This theory, moreover, ratifies the commonsense conception of human beings as causally effective conscious agents, and is fully compatible with leading-edge physics and neuroscience. The book should command the attention of all open-minded persons concerned with the still-unsolved mysteries of the mind.
Author and consultant Jennifer Garvey Berger has worked with all types of leaders—from top executives at Google to nonprofit directors who are trying to make a dent in social change. She hears a version of the same plea from every client in nearly every sector around the world: "I know that complexity and uncertainty are testing my instincts, but I don't know which to trust. Is there some way to know what to do when I can't know what's next?" Her newest work is an answer to this plea. Using her background in adult development, complexity theories, and leadership consultancy, Garvey Berger discerns five pernicious and pervasive "mind traps" to frame the book. These are: the desire for simple stories, our sense that we are right, our desire to get along with others in our group, our fixation with control, and our constant quest to protect and defend our egos. In addition to understanding why these natural impulses steer us wrong in a fast-moving world, leaders will get powerful questions and approaches that help them escape these patterns.
Popular science writer Philip Ball explores a range of sciences to map our answers to a huge, philosophically rich question: How do we even begin to think about minds that are not human? Sciences from zoology to astrobiology, computer science to neuroscience, are seeking to understand minds in their own distinct disciplinary realms. Taking a uniquely broad view of minds and where to find them—including in plants, aliens, and God—Philip Ball pulls the pieces together to explore what sorts of minds we might expect to find in the universe. In so doing, he offers for the first time a unified way of thinking about what minds are and what they can do, by locating them in what he calls the “space of possible minds.” By identifying and mapping out properties of mind without prioritizing the human, Ball sheds new light on a host of fascinating questions: What moral rights should we afford animals, and can we understand their thoughts? Should we worry that AI is going to take over society? If there are intelligent aliens out there, how could we communicate with them? Should we? Understanding the space of possible minds also reveals ways of making advances in understanding some of the most challenging questions in contemporary science: What is thought? What is consciousness? And what (if anything) is free will? Informed by conversations with leading researchers, Ball’s brilliant survey of current views about the nature and existence of minds is more mind-expanding than we could imagine. In this fascinating panorama of other minds, we come to better know our own.
The story of a neural impulse and what it reveals about how our brains work We see the last cookie in the box and think, can I take that? We reach a hand out. In the 2.1 seconds that this impulse travels through our brain, billions of neurons communicate with one another, sending blips of voltage through our sensory and motor regions. Neuroscientists call these blips “spikes.” Spikes enable us to do everything: talk, eat, run, see, plan, and decide. In The Spike, Mark Humphries takes readers on the epic journey of a spike through a single, brief reaction. In vivid language, Humphries tells the story of what happens in our brain, what we know about spikes, and what we still have left to understand about them. Drawing on decades of research in neuroscience, Humphries explores how spikes are born, how they are transmitted, and how they lead us to action. He dives into previously unanswered mysteries: Why are most neurons silent? What causes neurons to fire spikes spontaneously, without input from other neurons or the outside world? Why do most spikes fail to reach any destination? Humphries presents a new vision of the brain, one where fundamental computations are carried out by spontaneous spikes that predict what will happen in the world, helping us to perceive, decide, and react quickly enough for our survival. Traversing neuroscience’s expansive terrain, The Spike follows a single electrical response to illuminate how our extraordinary brains work.
National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry
Does the brain create the mind, or is some external entity involved? This book synthesizes ideas borrowed from philosophy, religion, and science. Topics range widely from brain imagining of thought processes to quantum mechanics and the essential role of information in brains and physical systems.
Man thought religion would guide him to happiness and freedom but he was wrong and then turned to science and technology for guidance and both of them in one stage of development took off from nature and created a new technological environment and left man floating in this space with no reference for orientation. This environment extends into virtual reality of the imagination; it has no borders as nature's environment has. In this borderless environment man feels unrestricted to move everywhere. He also feels that nature is no longer able to satisfy his physical and psychological needs, and he is seeking new ways of action and expression defined by technology. I explain in this book that the movement of man must be within certain boundaries that define the space of motion where our needs (physical and emotional) can be satisfied. I also explain that when a dynamic system like our life is excessively expanded the forces inside the system cannot hold the system together and the system is disintegrated, burnt out or becomes static. Since virtual reality has no boundaries man can get easily lost or destroyed in this vast space. This applies to all dynamic systems like cultures, civilizations, economies, ecosystems etc.The future of humanity and our planet will be controlled by Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI will be the new god who will rule humanity in the future, it will be a type of technological dictatorship, therefore human intelligence will be inferior to AI and it will be no longer vital for our existence because for that moment on the AI will define life for us. On the contrary human intelligence will be highly discouraged as it will be considered to interfere with the flow of technological ideas of AI. Therefore AI will create a "black hole" for human intelligence or perhaps AI will be this "black hole" which will suck any human intelligence to oblivion. We are witnessing the destruction of humanity and now man is standing on the path of fear for handouts from those in charge of his intellectual creations, science, arts and technology and is looking spiritless, physically and intellectually exhausted. He has no longer confidence in himself because he no longer believes in his intellectual or physical powers. Man has fallen into a terrible trap and has surrendered in to the power of the machine. From now on it is those who are in charge of programming the machines, including the voting machines who will be the decision makers. From now on, the machine will define man's actions and such actions will be routine, robotic type actions and man's life will be on a path where all his actions will be predictable. Life in the intellectual level is about knowledge and ideas and ideas are tied to place we live at a certain time (at different time or different places there will be different ideas). The language of the intelligent mind is verbal communication. The Emotional mind is the opposite of the intelligent mind. It is manifested everywhere the same, regardless when and where we live, people cry the same, laugh the same, mourn their loved ones exactly the same. The language of the emotional mind is music, poetry, dance, colors, emotions, action etc. Therefore the emotional language is universal everywhere the same. The emotional language has also undefined meaning and it is perceived differently each time, it is dynamic (continuously changing) creating each time different ways of expression. I explain in this book that the intelligent mind can comprehend only digital and static states and the emotional mind analog (shapes and patterns) and dynamic states, waves and action.This explains why we cannot order or explain to our emotional mind verbally to feel happy when we are depress or feel miserable, this will never work. What will work is to do something (action) where our intelligent and emotional minds agree and equally participate like work with our hobby or go to dance with someone we like etc.
Every few thousand years, our human culture experiences a massive evolutionary transformation. In the next few years, our consciousness will change very rapidly and move us beyond anything we can presently imagine. This change of consciousness is happening naturally to each of us now, and it will affect every aspect of how we think, how we live, and how we love. We are a culture in search of its spirit, and this change of consciousness is evolutionarily next for humankind on this planet. When the awareness opens, one may search many avenues and attractions for truth and enlightenment and find the search lacking in result. The next step may be the path of Self-discovery. But the direction on this path will not be given to us by a great teacher who comes down from the mountaintop with answers cast in stone, but rather by lots of little great teachers who could be called pathfinders. And to move into this new consciousness, we will transform the mind and the way it works with new mental skills and mental technology. Our success is inevitable. The ease or difficulty with which we achieve this success is still in formation. We will survive the transition physically. The question is whether we will survive psychologically. Psychological survival in this transition depends on only one thing: Developing the ability and inner discipline to completely, instantaneously, unquestioningly and continuously adapt to change.
