On our website dot com and well be back with another round up in about an hours time and stay with us for so if you go next to it on all 3 international. Welcome to you sophie visionaries of shevardnadze human lying. Beautiful it can be remains a mystery can a consciousness ever be explained what is consciousness about this and much more of an amazing neuroscientist says in greenfield. Arenas susan greenfield pleasure to have General Program as a pleasure to be here sophie so weve spoken to some of was Brilliant Minds and your love 1st woman interview and im very excited to talk to thank you eventually about the brain because it seems to be the eternal topic so youre very. Well known and respected neuroscientists and youve covered many aspects of human brain and how it works and all of that and i have talked neuroscientists and most of them tommy that were very dual beings that brain and body are 2 separate entities one is. By the other they all seem to somehow stick to this theory i w
A very greedy organ in terms of energy but nonetheless it is an integral part of your body its not as if its a separate or machine thats perched on top of the body directing like a little rover and of course not you have these chemicals are iterating throughout your body from the great control systems of blood in the streets the Central Nervous system the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system which of the control in the heart are talk a bit of a consciousness there because thats a huge topic for you and like for all of us what is a consciousness from a neuroscientist point of view is it what makes us human i mean do animals arches was ok so thats 2 separate questions were so 1st of all. I think if we say all scientists like to do is say lets take the null hypothesis lets assume its not the case so lets assume an animal is not conscious right. When and where and how the suddenly you cross this magic line that suddenly gives you consciousness is a fetus conscious in the womb
A sin on so you say well lets think about consciousness a little bit and for me my great thinker insight once when i was on holiday i suddenly thought with our thinking about unconsciousness and with an a c.

Broadening your consciousness of deepening your consciousness here which if you go to mountains or lakes after. To either deepe
Endocrine system hormones because otherwise youd have biological amoco if they were separate so there has to be a system for the brain in the body to be really integrated in the brain after all is just another organ of the body very important organ a very greedy organ in terms of energy but nonetheless it is an integral part of your body its not as if its a separate all machine thats perched on top of the body directing like a little rover and of course not you have these chemicals are iterating throughout your body from the great control systems of blood in the street the Central Nervous system the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system which over controlling the heart our talk a bit of a consciousness there because thats a huge topic for you and like for all of us what is a consciousness from a neuroscientist point of view is it what makes us human i mean do animals are just this work ok so thats 2 separate questions were so 1st of all.

To work in conjunction the Central Nervous system has to work in conjunction with the immune system and the endocrine system hormones because otherwise youd have biological amoco if they were separate so there has to be a system for the brain in the body to be really integrated in the brain after all is just another organ of the body very important organ a very greedy organ in terms of energy but nonetheless it is an integral part of your body its not as if its a separate or machine thats perched on top of the body directing like a little rover and of course not you have these chemicals are iterating throughout your body from the great control systems of blood in the streets the Central Nervous system the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system which over controlling the heart our talk a bit of a consciousness there because thats a huge topic for you and like for all of us what is a consciousness from a neuroscientist point of view is it what makes us human i mean do animals.
