Being You
A New Science of Consciousness
Book • 2021
In 'Being You: A New Science of Consciousness,' Anil Seth presents a radical new theory of consciousness, arguing that we are 'prediction machines' constantly inventing and correcting our perception of the world.
The book delves into the biological mechanisms of the brain, exploring how billions of neurons create our conscious experience.
Seth discusses the 'controlled hallucination' viewpoint, active inference, and the 'beast machine' theory, which views consciousness as a process of regulating the body's essential variables through interoceptive signals.
The book is a synthesis of philosophy, science, literature, and personal experience, making complex science accessible and engaging.
