The following is a book review from the WSJ of "The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscintists Quest for What Makes Us Human", by V.S. Ramachandran. The reviewer is an emeritus profedssor of geriatric medicine, and he is quite negative about the use of brain scans to discover the secrets of consciousness. I can only heartily agree with him:-http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704034804576025681468057572.html?KEYWORDS=Raymond+Tallis
