✨“Consciousness doesn’t just arise in one specific location🗺️ in the brain.”🧠 In the Zoomposium with renowned neuroscientist Prof. Dr. Wolf Singer, we explore one of science’s greatest unresolved questions: How does consciousness arise—and can the brain understand itself? Singer describes consciousness not as a “thing” or a center in the brain, but as a highly dynamic state of activity in the cerebral cortex. Complex patterns of excitation, feedback loops, and self-organized neural processes are crucial here. Without the modulating systems of the brainstem, the necessary dynamics are missing—but that by no means implies that “consciousness resides” there. The talk addresses fundamental questions in neuroscience and philosophy: 🔹 What are the neural correlates of consciousness? 🔹 Can the “hard problem of consciousness” be explained naturalistically? 🔹 Could complex feedback mechanisms eventually lead to strong AI? 🔹 Is free will merely a social construct? 🔹 Do quantum effects possibly play a role in the brain after all? At the intersection of neurobiology, philosophy of mind, self-organization, and AI research, a fascinating perspective emerges on what is perhaps the greatest mystery of all: conscious experience. 📺 Watch the discussion: https://youtu.be/C2FVIbAyaH4 📎 More information: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2022/03/22/kann-das-gehirn-das-gehirn-verstehen/
