How Much Do We Actually Know About Consciousness? - Patrick House - #551

Patrick House is a neuroscientist and writer whose research focuses on free will and how mind-control parasites alter their host's behaviour.

Expect to learn why removing parts of the brain change some aspects of the self but not all of them, what it's like for animals who can put half of their brain to sleep at once, how the brain is intimately linked with timekeeping, why almost all explanations of consciousness are unsatisfactory, what the future of brain-research looks like and much more...
