Christof Koch: On Consciousness and Experience
Manage episode 459049254 series 2902726
In this week’s episode, we explore the mystery of consciousness with Christof Koch, a leading neuroscientist who has dedicated his career to understanding the mind. Koch is a prominent advocate of Integrated Information Theory (IIT), a mathematical framework that seeks to link the core features of conscious experience to the basic properties of physical systems. While controversial and sometimes criticized for its speculative nature, IIT has sparked important conversations about the science of subjective experience.
Can neuroscience fully explain consciousness, or do we need to think beyond the brain? What do transformative experiences, like those of being near death or taking psychedelics, teach us about consciousness?
