Samenvatting
Do our conscious minds exert a non-physical influence on the workings of our brains, or are we just soft machines? Most scientists today opt for a mechanistic view of the human brain, but in this book - a fascinating blend of physics and philosophy - David Hodgson makes out a powerful case for the efficacy of the mind.
