The Consciousness Instinct: Watch Michael Gazzaniga’s Keynote

April 4, 2018

CNS 2018

To kick off the 25th anniversary meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, Michael Gazzaniga (University of California, Santa Barbara) took us back to the beginning of the field, and then on a whirlwind tour through the history of thought on consciousness. How do neurons turn into minds? How does physical “stuff”—atoms, molecules, chemicals, and cells—create the vivid and various alive worlds inside our heads? Although we’ve had massive breakthroughs in neuroscience in the last century, these puzzles faced by the ancient Greeks are still present. Gazzaniga believes that understanding how consciousness works will help define the future of brain science and artificial intelligence, and close the gap between brain and mind. Watch his talk here:

It’s pretty awesome to listen to the man that started the left brain/right brain meme 😉 and the cognitive neuroscience society…Mike Gazzaniga at #CNS2018! Now he’s taking on consciousness…let’s do this! pic.twitter.com/49OWWDpf7l

.@MGBrainSplitter thinks of consciousness as a bubbling up of activity from different specialized systems at different moments in time #cns2018

Gazzaniga: all kinds of disruptions of the mind can occur – spatial, visual, language systems – yet in no case would you say that the patient is not conscious #cns2018 pic.twitter.com/avTF1paPKr

Gap between mind and the brain: how does the brain generate the mind? how do neurons generate mental state?
No one knows how it works but we should be thinking about it – @MGBrainSplitter #cns2018

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 24, 2018

So is consciousness an instinct?
It’s the rattling off of little instincts into something else…the bubbling brain –@MGBrainSplitter #cns2018
