What is this strange mental world that seems so essential to being human?
The conscious mind brings together sensations, perceptions, thoughts and memories to generate the seamless movie of a person's life.
It makes us aware of the world around us and our own self.
How all this emerges from a kilogram of brain cells is one of the greatest unanswered questions. In Your Conscious Mind leading brain scientists and New Scientist take you on a journey through the mind to discover what consciousness really is, and what we can learn when it goes awry.
