Christof Koch uncovers the biological clockworks lying at the base of consciousness, bringing us closer to the eternal mystery of this perplexing phenomenon.

For centuries, the inner workings of consciousness have brought sleepless nights to many biologists, brain researchers, and philosophers.

Christof Koch, a German-American neuroscientist and the chief scientist of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, attempts to shed light on the phenomenon of consciousness and present the knowledge we have collected so far.

With a foreword written by legendary molecular biologist Francis Crick, The Quest for Consciousness offers deep insight into the neural correlates of consciousness, or NCC.

The book explores the complex mechanisms that enable us to think, be aware, and interact with our surroundings.
