Summary note

There is a thread that connects the processes that a shaman or a doctor unleash in the minds of the sick who want to heal and the mechanisms of an engineer to endow a robot with something similar to consciousness. This book focuses first on shamanic magical powers and the placebo effect in medicine and then explores the robot as a thinking machine and the possibility that artificial intelligence can develop consciousness.
