After decades of discussion in different scientific fields, the concept of consciousness is still very elusive. This book aims to define actual perceptions of consciousness in various indigenous cultures using seminal anthropological case studies as well as material from research conducted by the author in Nepal and Peninsular Malaysia. The purpose is to show the impressive similarities between indigenous perceptions of consciousness and neuroscientific theories (Imprint: Nova)
