A day in the life of the brain: the neuroscience of consciousness from dawn till dusk

Each of us has a unique, subjective inner world, one that we can never share directly with anyone else.

But how do our physical brains actually give rise to this rich and varied experience of consciousness?

Susan Greenfield brings together a series of astonishing new, empirically based insights into consciousness as she traces a single day in the life of your brain.

From waking to walking the dog, working to dreaming, she explores how our daily experiences are translated into a tangle of cells, molecules and chemical blips, thereby probing the enduring mystery of how our brains create our individual selves.
