     Preface
    Prologue

    1 The Dream of Galileo
     
    Part I: EVIDENCE: Experiments of Nature
     
    2 Introduction
    Displacements
     
    3 Cerebrum
    In which is shown that the corticothalamic system generates consciousness
     
    4 Cerebellum
    In which is shown that the cerebellum, while having more neurons than the cerebrum, does not generate consciousness
     
    5 Two Blind Painters
    In which is shown that sensory inputs and pathways are not necessary for consciousness
     
    6 A Brain Locked In
    In which is shown that motor outputs and pathways are not necessary for consciousness, nor are they sufficient
     
    7 Empress Without Memory
    In which is shown that many brain circuits that help us see, hear, remember, speak, and act are not necessary for consciousness
     
    8 A Brain Split
    In which is shown that consciousness is divided if the brain is split
     
    9 A Brain Conflicted
    In which is said that consciousness can split if different regions of the brain refuse to talk to each other
     
    10 A Brain Possessed
    In which is shown that when cortical neurons fire strongly and synchronously, as during certain seizures, consciousness fades
     
    11 A Brain Asleep
    In which is shown that when cortical neurons can be on and off only together, as during dreamless sleep, consciousness fades
     
    Part II: THEORY: Experiments of Thought
     
    12 Introduction
    The Enigma of Consciousness
     
    13 Galileo and the Photodiode
    In which is shown that the humble photodiode can tell light from dark as well as Galileo
     
    14 Information: The Manifold Repertoire
    In which is shown that the repertoire of possible experiences is as large as one can imagine
     
    15 Galileo and the Camera
    In which is shown that the sensor of a digital camera has a large repertoire of possible states, perhaps larger than Galileo’s
     
    16 Integrated Information: The Many and the One
    In which is shown that consciousness lives where information is integrated by a single entity above and beyond its parts
     
    17 Galileo and the Bat
    In which is feared that the quality of experience cannot be derived from matter
     
    18 Seeing Dark (Deconstructing Darkness)
    In which is said that darkness does not exist in a void but requires a context
     
    19 The Meaning of Dark (Constructing Darkness)
    In which is shown that darkness is built of many nested mechanisms that specify what it is not
     
    20 The Palace of Light
    In which is shown that an experience is a shape made of integrated information
     
    21 The Garden of Qualia
    In which is said that the universe is mostly dark, but the largest stars are closer than one thinks, if they are looked at with the proper instrument
     
    Part III: IMPLICATIONS: A Universe of Consciousness
     
    22 Introduction
    Sparks and Flames
     
    23 Nightfall I: Death
    In which is said that, if consciousness is integrated information, it dissolves with death
     
    24 Nightfall II: Dementia
    In which is said that consciousness disintegrates with dementia
     
    25 Nightfall III: Dolor
    In which is said that, if the quality of consciousness is a shape made of integrated information, it can be turned into the only real and eternal Hell
     
    26 Twilight I: Consciousness Diminished
    In which is said that consciousness can be present in the absence of language and reflection
     
    27 Twilight II: Consciousness Evolving
    In which is said that animals are conscious, too
     
    28 Twilight III: Consciousness Developing
    In which is said that consciousness must be present, to some degree, even before birth
     
    29 Daylight I: Consciousness Exploring
    In which is said that, by investigating nature, new qualia are discovered
     
    30 Daylight II: Consciousness Imagining
    In which is said that art and imagination invent new shapes within the mind
     
    31 Daylight III: Consciousness Growing
    In which is said that, by growing consciousness, the universe comes more into being, the synthesis of one and many
