About This Book

Philosopher Thomas Metzinger explores the neuroscientific basis of conscious experience, arguing that the self is a virtual construct created by the brain. The book examines phenomena like out-of-body experiences, lucid dreaming, and virtual reality to explain how our subjective reality functions as a transparent 'ego tunnel'.
