What are the mind and consciousness? Why do they exist, and how can they emerge from something as physical as the brain?
Since ancient times, these questions have accompanied us, challenging philosophers, scientists, and curious minds alike. And although many theories have been proposed, none has managed to clearly, empirically, and convincingly connect subjective experience with its material foundation.
Science is advancing rapidly, and new, competent theories are being born. This book presents the Biomechanical Mind Theory (TMB), a groundbreaking proposal that changes the rules of the game. Here you will discover what the mind truly is, how and where consciousness arises, and what conditions make its existence possible. Even more: you will learn who -person, animal, or machine- can have a mind and consciousness... and why.
With an accessible yet rigorous approach, we explore the foundations of the growing mechanism model, reveal new properties of consciousness, and open the door to a new era: postmodern neuroscience.
More than just a theory, the TMB is an invitation to rethink everything: the mind, identity, experience... and our place in the universe.
This revised and updated edition aims to refine and expand upon the contents of the original work.
