Mystery Of Consciousness
After years of probing damaged brains, a neuroscientist defines the
mind's awareness
By J. Madeleine Nash
In a new book titled _The Feeling of What Happens_ (Harcourt Brace; $28),
noted neuroscientist Dr. Antonio Damasio not only argues that human
consciousness is comprehensible but also offers an arrestingly original
explanation of its workings. What makes his views so noteworthy is that
they're grounded not in theoretical musings but in years of clinical
research on patients who are epileptic or have suffered brain damage
through strokes, disease or traumatic injuries.
