Chasing Consciousness

Join Project Y-0 for a series of free talks and dialogues that explore the concept of consciousness and its role in our lives. These Friday night programs, co-presented by YHouse, Inc., raise questions with no easy answers:

• What can science tell us about consciousness?
• How are experimental, mathematical, and synthetic approaches to science exploring the nature of awareness?
• How do culture and society impact our awareness?
• Is artificial intelligence leading to conscious machines and what might we learn from that progression?

This week’s topic is:

Tackling the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Join Marcelo Gleiser, physicist, writer, and director of the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Engagement at Dartmouth, and a panel of leading scientists and thinkers as they tackle whether or not we can directly link the detailed physical structure of a brain to consciousness.
