Brain Science with Ginger Campbell, MD: Neuroscience for Everyone
Science:Life Sciences
This month's episode is the beginning a four part series about the Neuroscience of Consciousness. This month I am discussing and comparing the ideas from several recent books on the subject in preparation for several upcoming interviews on the subject. Many people consider consciousness to be the biggest mystery of all, but in this episode we explore how progress has been made in unraveling the ultimate "mystery of how our brain makes us human."
Books featured in BS 160 (listed in the order cited):
