The book discusses consciousness phenomenon and a number of theories that attempt to explain consciousness. So far, no one has been able to explain how the brain creates this phenomenon, mainly because no way has been discovered to measure it. The book’s main innovations are as follows:
(1) A new mentalistic model for explaining behavior based on one’s subjective mental states, and a coherent procedure for using this model and a mechanistic model accepted in the sciences.
(2) A theoretical model, which proposes that sensory stimulation is initially processed automatically and unconsciously, and explains the transition from non-conscious to conscious states and vice versa.
(3) Convincing arguments that explain why highly sophisticated computers or robots have not yet developed consciousness.
(4) A discussion based on the concept of consciousness that explains why psychology has not yet been developed in a similar way to the sciences (e.g., physics).
