This chapter intends to present a fresh approach to research on neural synchrony and the unity of mind and consciousness through a consideration of the place of mind in the network of natural causality. In particular, beyond the mechanisms of neural synchrony, it considers the issue of the causal efficacy of consciousness — that aspect of consciousness in virtue of which human beings (and other animals) qualify as conscious agents. The approach is to reconsider neural synchrony and consciousness within the context of two key concepts: emergence (or emergent processes) and embodiment.
