Abstract
The relationship between consciousness and the brain, never absent from the pages of the philosophical and psychological literature, has become the topic of particularly active discussion in recent decades. It has been the subject not only of individual investigations but also of complete major international symposia, attended by the leading representatives of psychology, neurology, and physiology1; eminent neurophysiologists, morphologists, and clinicians return to it time and time again.
