What is consciousness...and, is it changing? On this episode of Giant Leap Taylor Wilson and Joey Lovato talk about the future of the brain with world-renowned neuroscientist Anil Seth. Together they explore some of the mysteries around the brain, the science of awareness, and the complicated ethical and technical discussions unfolding at the place where artificial intelligence meets human consciousness. This episode is a deep dive into the neuroscience of consciousness, and the technology driving discoveries -- mind and machine. If you're interested in consciousness, AI and the mind, if AI can really think, or even how quantum processes could be involved in the machinations of the human brain, tune in.
