    Feb 12 2024

Does consciousness continue on long after our bodies have turned to dust? To help answer some of these questions the guys listen to Stuart Hameroff who is an American anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona known for his studies of consciousness and his controversial contention that consciousness originates from quantum states in neural microtubules. And, Anil Seth who is a British neuroscientist and professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex. A proponent of materialist explanations of consciousness, he is currently amongst the most cited scholars on the topics of neuroscience and cognitive science globally.
