About the Book

Wie kann Aktivität im Gehirn Gefühle auslösen? Wie kann "bloßes Fleisch" - so wird der Körper in Cyberpunkromanen oft abfällig genannt -- subjektives Empfinden hervorbringen? Oder allgemeiner gesagt: Wie kann etwas Physisches etwas Nichtphysisches, subjektive Zustände erzeugen? Ob es der Zahnschmerz ist, die Freude beim Anblick der eigenen Kinder oder der Geschmack eines edlen Weins, sie alle haben denselben Ursprung in der Aktivität von Nervengewebe, im Bewusstsein. Christof Koch forscht seit Jahren über das Thema Bewusstsein. In einer Art Bestandsaufnahme zeigt er den derzeitigen Stand der Forschung auf, an dem auch maßgeblich Wissenschaftler wie Francis Crick, Ned Block, David Chalmers, Stanislas Dehaene, Giulio Tononi und Wolf Singer mitgewirkt haben. Ihm erscheint nicht als Widerspruch, mit naturwissenschaftlichen, empirischen Methoden erklären zu wollen, wie Gefühle entstehen. Wir sind uns der meisten Dinge, die in unserem Kopf vorgehen, nicht bewusst. Koch postuliert, dass Zombies ohne Bewusstsein in weiten Teilen unser Leben steuern, auch wenn wir der festen Überzeugung sind, darüber selbst zu bestimmen. Seiner Meinung nach wird es gelingen, empfindungsfähige Maschinen zu bauen - er liefert eine erste Vorlage hierfür im Buch. Er reflektiert so diverse Aspekte wie die Unterscheidung zwischen Aufmerksamkeit und Bewusstsein, das Unbewusste, die Physik und Biologie des freien Willen, Hunde, den Ring der Nibelungen, den Glauben an einen persönlichen Gott und Traurigkeit. Kochs Buch ist mehr als ein wissenschaftlicher Überblick - es ist zudem Bekenntnis, Autobiographie und futuristische Spekulation.
About the Author:

Christof Koch wurde 1956 im amerikanischen Mittleren Westen geboren, wuchs auf in Holland, Deutschland, Kanada und Marokko, wo er im Jahre 1974 am Lycée Descartes mit dem Baccalaureat abschloss. Er studierte Physik und Philosophie an der Universität Tübingen und erhielt seinen Doktor in Biophysik im Jahre 1982 am Max-Planck-Institut für Biologische Kybernetik. Nach seiner Postdoktorandenzeit nahm Koch 1986 einen Ruf ans California Institute of Technology in Pasadena an und ist heute zudem Chief Scientific Officer am Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle. Von 1989 bis zu dessen Tod im Jahre 2004 arbeitete er mit Francis Crick an den neurobiologischen Grundlagen des Bewusstseins. Der begeisterte Läufer und Kletterer ist Verfasser von über 300 wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen sowie mehreren Büchern über Biophysik und Computer, die neurowissenschaftliche Grundlage der visuellen Wahrnehmung, Aufmerksamkeit und Bewusstsein, darunter das Sachbuch Bewusstsein - ein neurobiologisches Rätsel.
