Theres no evidence for that that consciousness is an emergent property of computation its an assumption that the brain is a computer but theres no evidence for that and i think its a its a poor assumption for example it assumes that each neuron is a simple on off switch yes or no but a single cell neurons or cells in a single cell like a paramecium swims around finds through defines a mate has sex can learn it escapes from a capillary tube faster and faster its intelligent it may not be conscious but its intelligent so if a single paramecium or even an amoeba which can solve problems can be that intelligent why should we think that a neuron is just a one or is 0 so i think we need to go deeper inside the neuron she to another level and figure out how the paramecium does it and that turns out to be using structures called microtubules inside all cells including brain cells neurons that are capable it seems a processing information and maybe Quantum Computers and we have to get to my car
Welcome to the visionaries shevardnadze humanity has been searching for the seeds of consciousness for thousands of years all my guest today believes we might finally be on the path to finding them im joined by dr stuart hamer of anesthesiologist and director of the center for consciousness studies. Dr stuart hamer us anna says ya just iraq sure of center for consciousness studies its really great to have you here with us today consciousness is like one of my favorite topics so i cant wait to dig into your brain so you said that some concepts of consciousness are naive what concepts and why are they naive. Most people would say that the brain is a computer of neurons acting as bits like individual on off states and that if you get sufficient complexity in competition that consciousness emerges but really theres no evidence for that that consciousness is an emergent property of computation its an assumption that the brain is a computer but theres no evidence for that and i think its a i

Deaths from the coronavirus conference reyna harvey is live in alameda with more diane james, a 149 people died yesterday, the coronavirus not on Alameda County right now weve seen cases out here skyrocket this county has the most corona virus cases now Health Experts are telling us there are many reasons why were seen arise and also the fatalities were seen were counties continue to open up were seeing people going outside more a lot of people not wearing mask people are getting more comfortable with coronavirus mean around now i was able to talk to some of the residents out here in the county who are concerned about the rates going up who are also concerned about the deaths, heres what they had to say i think its sad and a conce
In california we have recorded our highest singleday death toll from coronavirus conference reyna harvey is live in alameda with more on that daria 149 people died yesterday because of coronavirus now youre now in the county weve got thousands of positive cases over 7,000 people have coronavirus that are living throughout Alameda County now Health Experts are saying there are some direct links as to why they may be seen an increase in numbers as well as the death she had a lot of people that are going out you have more people that are feeling comfortable all congregating with each other and not everybody thats out here is wearing a mask now we hit that high yesterday but we had another high that we hit on may 19 there were 132 deaths throughout california on that date so we top that number yesterday now again we spoke to residents out here in the county may have their own the lease as to why they feel or see more deaths take a listen. Its sad and a concerning obviously but thats dispir
