The result is a cogent, witty, and richly detailed analysis of how the brain \"sees,\" and a daring exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence: Do we have free will? What exactly is it that makes us sentient beings and different from other animals? Is there such a thing as a soul, or are we nothing more than an immensely complex collection of neurons?"
