The Self in Neuroscience and Psychiatry by Tilo Kircher, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

An international team focuses on current models of self-consciousness from neurosciences and psychiatry in this collection of essays. These are set against introductory essays describing philosophical, historical and psychological approaches. Neuroscience has recently contributed important insights to the concept and construction of the self from conditions, such as schizophrenia, in which the self becomes disordered and can be studied against healthy controls through experiment, building cognitive models of how the mind works, and imaging brain states. | The Self in Neuroscience and Psychiatry by Tilo Kircher, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
