The Neuroscience Of Consciousness Ft. Anil Seth | The Think Inc. Podcast

You are constantly tripping out, and your brain is the drug.

You are constantly tripping out and your brain is the drug. If a hallucination is the experience of uncontrolled perception, perception is a controlled hallucination, and that control is monopolised by the pink sponge in your head.

We experience the world through the lens of our brains, so our experience of existing has little grounding in reality. Our consciousness is a creation of our own imagination… Confused? Scared? Angry for some reason? Don’t worry – Anil Seth is here to clear things up.

This episode is a recording from our Outside The Box series - an event where Anil dove into topics like:
- Will technology ever develop consciousness of its own?
- Are humans the only creatures on Earth to experience consciousness of self?
- If consciousness is a product of our brain’s interpretation of the world, what happens if we start hacking it?.

The event was hosted by Junior Research Fellow Lila Landowski.
