In Consciousness We Trust is a comprehensive synthesis of Hakwan Lau's 20-year research program delving into the neuroscience of consciousness. Through discussions of studies conducted in his own laboratory, Lau employs a diverse range of neuroscience techniques to address complex philosophical inquiries concerning the essence of our subjective experiences. Given the qualitative nature of subjective experiences, the book critically reviews the current cognitive neuroscience literature on conscious perception, attention, and metacognition, while also proposing a mechanistic account of experience within the framework of a personal journey. The chapters encompass various major theoretical positions, aimed at establishing connections between the nature of consciousness and relevant phenomena such as attention, metacognition, rational control, emotion, and sense of agency. This book is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in cognitive neuroscience and philosophy, as well as a significant contribution to the consciousness literature. It is available under an open access title, with the terms of a [CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International] license.
