Abstract
The epilogue answers some of the reviewers’ comments and wrap ups loose ends, providing a chance to discuss freely about some controversial issues. First of all, I would like to stress that the book draws upon and argues not from methaphysical considerations, but from the firm standpoint of neuroscience research and fundamental physics, leaving just a moderate space for several cutting edge philosophical insights. I do believe that the majority of academic readers will be challenged and intrigued by such a presentation in a positive way.

Notes

For analogy let us recall another well-known example from physics—Einstein’s theory of relativity, which started from his hypothesis regarding the laws of time-space continuum, assuming a limited speed of light. At that time, it looked like a weird idea, indeed, but eventually it changed our fundamental understanding about space-time and the matter-energy laws of the Universe. In no way can this book propose similarly radical or ambitious ideas. However, with the help of some “out of the box” thinking, its approach may help to see things from a bit different perspective, which let us hope may open up new prospective multidisciplinary niches of research.

In fact, all our senses are based on registering and analyzing of oscillations from light to sound frequencies (even smell and taste is based on discerning vibrational modes of molecules).
