Synopsis
This title is a new understanding of how Darwinian process could operate in the brain to shape mental images in only seconds, starting with shuffled memories no better than the jumble of our nighttime dreams, but evolving into something of quality, such as a sentence to speak aloud. Jung said that dreaming goes on continuously but you can't see it when you are awake, just as you can't see the stars in the daylight because it is too bright. Calvin's is a theory for what goes on, hidden from view by the glare of waking mental operations, that produces our peculiarly human type of consciousness with its versatile intelligence.

Industry Reviews
"Calvin writes with elegance, economy, and authority. In 'The Cerebral Code', he has solidly embedded his ideas in experimental neurophysiology and neuropharmacology, deriving from his decades in the laboratory. He explores the ramifications of his insights into a wide range of cerebral functions, such as sleep, dreaming, awareness, problems solving, creative thinking, and the dynamics of nerve cell assemblies that make consciousness possible."

"'The Cerebral Code' is original, readable, and of sound scholarship. It should appeal to an audience of professionals, students, and general readers, and is likely to be used as a source book for students to read in courses on the neural basis of cognition."
