Introduction -- Chapter 1. The Mind/Brain Problem -- Chapter 2. Principles of Cortical Function -- Chapter 3. Perception -- Chapter 4. Memory -- Chapter 5. Feelings -- Chapter 6. The Split-Brain Paradigm -- Chapter 7. Frontal Convergence -- Chapter 8. Neuronal Networks -- Chapter 9. Information Processing within Neurons -- Chapter 10. Encoding Conscious Experience in Single Neurons -- Chapter 11. Quantum Consciousness -- Chapter 12. Implications and Speculations.

This book presents an engaging account of a provocative new theory which explores how our brain generates conscious experience and where this occurs. It suggests that conscious experience happens not at the whole brain level but at the level of individual nerve cells. The notion that the brain as a whole is sentient is an illusion created by the exquisite organization of the individually conscious neurons. Despite appearances to the contrary, conscious behavior that seems to be the product of a single macroscopic mind is actually the integrated output of a chorus of microscopic minds, each associated with an individual neuron. The result is a theory that revolutionizes our conception of who and what we are.
