Bernard Baars On Consciousness & The Brain

ON CONSCIOUSNESS & THE BRAIN with Bernard Baars | @BAARSLAB 

Open-minded discussions on some new ideas about the scientific study of consciousness & the brain. 

Far from being some free-floating cloud around our heads, sensory consciousness is profoundly embedded in biology, anatomy, physiology, and above all, in adaptive brain functions that serve us in every second of waking life. This is not some philosophical speculation. It is now supported by numerous empirical findings. How can we understand the evidence? 

Join Bernard Baars, originator of Global Workspace Theory (GWT), acclaimed author in psychobiology, and one of the founders of the modern science of consciousness & his special guests to discover the conscious brain.

Bernard Baars is the recipient of the 2019 Hermann von Helmholtz Life Contribution Award by the International Neural Network Society, for work in perception proven to be paradigm changing and long-lasting.
