Prof Ronald MacGregor has published extensively in theoretical neuroscience since 1965, consistently advocating the foundationality of physiology and physical law in brain-mind function. His work has helped ground neuroelectric signaling within physical science and characterize the neuroelectric patterns of neurons and neural networks.

"A systematic journey into the human mind and human nature and their relationships to the human brain � based on the most current neuroscience and on introspection and deep reflection by an eminent theoretical neuroscientist."

Edwin R Lewis, University of California, Berkeley

"At once fascinating and thought provoking modern elaboration of topics that have been puzzling human kind at least since the days of the Plato's Phaedo and Allegory of the Cave."

Edwin R Lewis, University of California, Berkeley

"An engaging, penetrating, comprehensive book which delineates humanist qualities of value, knowing, and aesthetics as central operative agents in daily brain function. It is R J MacGregor's pinnacle � a must for scholarly and lay students of human nature, and for neurobiologists seeking to model the full, global, self-referential character of the brain."
