Science: Antonio Damasio: The Creation of Consciousness
This question has confounded neurologists, philosophers, cognitive scientists, and psychologists for centuries: How is consciousness created? Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, founder of USC's Brain and Creativity Institute and author of Self Comes to Mind, says consciousness ("self") is not separate from the body, but instead a biological process created by the brain, "a dynamic, unpredictable faculty that is instrumental in defining and explaining who we understand ourselves to be. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft. Series media sponsorship provided by KPLU.
