Get sufficient complexity in competition that consciousness emerges the 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 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
So much more for us without some go. Out with a brand new full round up for you in an hours time thank you for watching the international. Manager he has been searching for. Years. Finally on the past to finding them im joined by doctors. Director. 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 not what concepts and why are they not. 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 the 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 its a poor assumption for exam
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.

For thousands of years i guess today believes we might finally be on the pass to finding them im joined by dr stuart hamer of anesthesiologist and director of the center for consciousness studies.
