The mystery of consciousness is finally being tackled by neuroscientists as well as philosophers. This series will look at three different ways in which brain research can approach the problem, by first examining the more modest brains of the developing human foetus and animals with more restricted stereotypical behavioural repertoires. Secondly, we shall explore the physical changes known to occur in the brain when consciousness is interrupted in extreme states, e.g., during mania, depression and schizophrenia. Finally we will see how successfully the subjective states of mind can be married with known events in the brain.
The three lectures in this series are included in the PDF below:
