What is consciousness and how can a brain, a mere collection of neurons, create it? In Consciousness and the Social Brain, Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano lays out an audacious new theory to account for the deepest mystery of them all. The human brain has evolved a complex circuitry that allows it to be socially intelligent. This social machinery has only just begun to be studied in detail. One function of this circuitry is to attribute awareness to others: to compute that person Y is aware of thing X. In Graziano's theory, the machinery that attributes awareness to others also attributes it to oneself. Damage that machinery and you disrupt your own awareness. Graziano discusses the science, the evidence, the philosophy, and the surprising implications of this new theory.

A wonderfully stimulating book, with a plausible and well-defined hypothesis for human awareness, without the confusing vagueness that typically plagues this subject.A few notes: I believe Professor Graziano has a good point - the attention schema, which models attention in a simplistic way, does not clearly reveal itself to us, and that is indeed confusing when we try to explain it. But the attention scheme is nonetheless adequate for its purpose of modeling and control of the physiological process of attention. HOWEVER, what makes this even more confusing and hard to understand is that our models of what we perceive through our senses, such as the redness of the apple, are also based on unrevealed neural processes. That is, the perception or experience of redness is the brain's visual label (a visual hardwired modeling process) that it applies when a particular spectrum of light impinges on our visual system. The redness that we experience is simply the brain's shorthand, and highly adaptive, way of telling us about the spectral characteristics - it's a visual label (analogous to a verbal label, but applied unconsciously). As with the attention schema, we do not perceive the underlying physiological processes that perform this visual labeling. So when the attention schema (awareness) focuses on the redness of the apple, there are actually TWO types of parallel neuronal action that are hidden from us: 1) the hardwired labeling of the sensing process (e.g. experiencing red in response to a certain type of spectrum impinging on the eye) 2) the attention process that focuses our brain on this sensory experience. This double layer of unperceived "trickery" that our brain performs is therefore extremely counter intuitive.
