Why do we have private subjective experience (consciousness)? Is that explainable by standard physics/neuroscience? This week I talk with Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) (2020 Nobel laureate in Physics) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff) to dive deep into a speculative idea: does

Does consciousness involve quantum physics? Dive deep in this week's Inner Cosmos, in which I interview Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) (2020 Nobel laureate in physics) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff), as they explain their hypothesis of the possible connection between the 2

What is the binding problem? How might a quantum theory of consciousness address it? What do single celled organisms tell us about whether we're underestimating neurons? Join me with Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger (Roger Penrose). eagleman.com/podcast/110 #consciousness #quantum

Is AI conscious? According to Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff ): no. Because (current) AI doesn't involve quantum effects (e.g. collapse of the wavefunction). And silicon computers are too different from organic hydrocarbons, which can

Does quantum physics have anything to do with consciousness? Join me with guests Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff) to discuss the (speculative) hypothesis that there could be a connection. eagleman.com/podcast/110 #brain #consciousness #quantum

What is intelligence & how should we seek it? Join me for this week's episode of Inner Cosmos with guest Mike Levin (Michael Levin) (professor at Tufts and one of my favorite colleagues) to discover how we often find intelligence in unexpected places. eagleman.com/podcast/111

How can a single genome run very different programs, and how is that parallel to an animal's brain driving unexpected bodies? Join me this week with guest Michael Levin (Michael Levin) as we discuss different forms of intelligence that surround us. eagleman.com/podcast/111

Instead of thinking of biology as a predetermined program, should we consider it a problem-solving material? Hear Mike Levin's (Michael Levin) take on this week's episode of Inner Cosmos: "Might we be surrounded with undetected minds?" eagleman.com/podcast/111 #brain #plasticity

How does the massively flexible material of the brain figure out how to accomplish its goals? Learn more on this week's episode of Inner Cosmos with guest Mike Levin (Michael Levin): "Might we be surrounded with undetected minds?" eagleman.com/podcast/111 #brain #plasticity



Join me for this week's Inner Cosmos podcast with complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman (Samuel Arbesman). We live in a world with unfathomably deep layers of computation: these hum quietly in the background, orchestrating the rhythm of our modern life. But we don't often stop to ask:

How is computer code like magic? Join me for this week's Inner Cosmos with complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman (Samuel Arbesman) as we explore how code shapes the world in ways we don't always see. eagleman.com/podcast/112 #brain #code
