Hobson presents a critical overview of current conceptions of consciousness, relating it to specific areas of the brain and their chemical and physical states. He charts the various states of waking, dreaming and non-consciousness using the theories and data of neuroscience, psychiatry and neurophysiology, whilst imaginatively conveying the mysterious and seductive nature of his subject.
