Gold: How does the brain conjure consciousness?
About this episode
For centuries, philosophers have theorised about the mind-body question. Is the mind something separate from the body? If so what does that mean?
So, how does the brain conjure consciousness?
In this interview from 2021, Jonathan speaks with Anil Seth, Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, Editor-in-Chief of Neuroscience of Consciousness and author of ‘Being You: A New Science of Consciousness’.
