Galileo’s spirit had sunk, but then he heard a distant choir, and in the dream it seemed to speak to him:“Dull is the brain, its center thin, and shadows only come together there; but the soul, the soul wants more than just a place to -dwell—-the soul is not a point at all.” So Galileo took breeze again. Common terms and phrases. “Three men and women I weighed with my scale, just before death and after the soul expired. The brain painted the world with color, he once had thought, made it alive with sound, and gave it taste and smell, but now he felt the brain did more than paint: the brain dreamed up and forged all things that were—lutes, rooms, mountains planets and stars.

His soul was rising fast, or it was falling—Galileo knew not which way was up. It has no name but I. Consciousness cannot just rest inside the shroud of science, because consciousness is more than an object of science: "From a neurologist whose work offers one of the most promising paths to unraveling the mystery of consciousness, an exploration of consciousness unlike any other.

The smell of youth wafting through the air, the rounded mountains were breathing, too, beating slowly and softly with his pulse. This eclectic mix makes for a challenging read, but one guaranteed to stretch and inform anyone delving into Phi: A Voyage from the Brain to the Soul. When one reads a book like this you can't help but draw comparisons to Hofstadter's GEB which masterfully blended fictional anecdotes with deep ideas, but where Hofstadter plunged the reader deep into the relevant issues, Tononi only skates on the surface, offering glances and teasing those of us who wish to learn more. He repeated his observations in dying dogs and found that their weight, by contrast, did not change. $10.99. The subject field is required.

His research has been the subject of articles in The New York Times and The Economist. The earth was moving, too, but there was no sun. it is its subject, too. Try again. The dreams are colorfully described, not straightforward neuroscience, and the author comments on each chapter in a footnote, often pretending that the contents were not his -"this chapter seems to be saying that ...". But then he thought: Inside that boy, too, was a brain, a brain that would contain another universe, the green expanding universe of his youth, and within that universe were other boys, and other brains, each with its lute and with its rising sun. He claimed to have proven scientifically that the soul exists and is measurable. Please enable JavaScript in your browser and reload the page. Ask not, he thought, for far too soon the steam is going to fizzle—every balloon leaks. Floating over its vast continents, he saw its mountains and soared above its valleys. The view of the abbey at Vallombrosa, where Galileo studied and played the lute (The Lute Player by Caravaggio is at the Hermitage, St. Petersburg), is by Louis Gauffier (Musée Fabre, Montpellier). In the second part, he sees how these facts can be unified and understood through a scientific theory of consciousness—a theory that links consciousness to phi, the symbol of integrated information that gives the book its title. He saw the galaxies, fixed in their distant ways, and saw the planets, revolving in the indifferent void. In the second part, when his companion seems to be named Alturi (Galileo is hard of hearing; 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). There are many intellectually delightful moments in these discussions, and many poetic allusions that are fun through and through, but I can't shake my disappointment that, for such a profound topic, and for such a scientifically important advancement as Tononi's IIT may prove to be, the book remains a superficial popularization without much depth.

Would his memories be lost forever—would everyone and everything vanish—would all be lost? But from his hanging chair Sanctorius laughed. There were also a lot of cameos from real historic figures, with coy remarks about how the author took license with the details -- and at first, I was all for this -- I have no issues with using the basics of an example from history without a lot of labored extra effort to make all the exact circumstances fit into a metaphor -- but these examples got so crazy off-topic that I can't figure why there was a big *wink, wink* about making them actual people.
