*Man has always had the intuition that the mind is not in the same domain as the body. Already, the paintings in the caves of Lascaux provide proof of this by representing the body on one side and the mind on the other, personified by a bird. This is the idea of a human dualism theorized by the philosopher René Descartes. However, scientists tend to refute this idea, which they consider to be responsible for a certain delay in scientific research on consciousness. In "The Code of Consciousness", the author demonstrates that the advent of brain imaging has made it possible to transform this philosophical concept into a concrete and scientifically viable subject.
