Consciousness | CSN II - Convergent Science Network of Biomimetics and Neurotechnology
http://www.lecturescsn.specs-lab.com/consciousness.html
Skip to main content. Advances in brain science, and the computational understanding of mind, have encouraged researchers to believe that a theoretical understanding of consciousness may be within our grasp. In these featured talks Victor Lamme discusses what we might learn about consciousness from visual neuroscience, Adrian Owen asks how we can tell if someone is conscious at all, and Marcello Massimini explores how we might measure conscious states in the brain. How to build a robot that feels.
