The Science of Consciousness

Description

How do the billions of neurons in your head, looking like tangled rice noodles, give rise to consciousness? Can we even define consciousness? We may not agree on a precise definition, but scientists can now measure brain activity during experiences that we think of as u201cconsciousu201d, such as deliberation, remembering, noticing, inner conflict, and coming awake. Prof. Mark Reimers talked about what scientists have uncovered so far about conscious brain activity, and the limitations of current theories and technology, and discuss whether this effort can really lead us to a scientific understanding of consciousness, and whether a scientific approach can help guide a religious understanding of human consciousness.u00a0
