However, we still know next to nothing about the relationship between consciousness and the brain and we can only speculate about the consciousness of animals and machines. Human and Machine Consciousness presents a new foundation for the scientific study of consciousness. It sets out a bold interpretation of consciousness that neutralizes the philosophical problems and explains how we can make scientific predictions about the consciousness of animals, brain-damaged patients and machines. Gamez interprets the scientific study of consciousness as a search for mathematical theories that map between measurements of consciousness and measurements of the physical world. We can use artificial intelligence to discover these theories and they could make accurate predictions about the consciousness of humans, animals and artificial systems. Human and Machine Consciousness also provides original insights into unusual conscious experiences, such as hallucinations, religious experiences and out-of-body states, and demonstrates how ?designer' states of consciousness could be created in the future. Gamez explains difficult concepts in a clear way that closely engages with scientific research. His punchy, concise prose is packed with vivid examples, making it suitable for the educated general reader as well as philosophers and scientists. Problems are brought to life in colourful illustrations and a helpful summary is given at the end of each chapter. The endnotes provide detailed discussions of individual points and full references to the scientific and philosophical literature. 606 $aConsciousness 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 610 $aexperience 610 $abrain 610 $astates of consciousness 610 $ascientific study of consciousness 610 $aartificial intelligence 610 $aAltered state of consciousness 610 $aMonetary system 610 $aNeuron 610 $aUniverse 615 0$aConsciousness. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 676 $a153 700 $aGamez$b David$0798841 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910262254603321 996 $aHuman and machine consciousness$92023470 997 $aUNINA
