Mark Solms - The Hidden Spring Part 1 of 9

#consciousness #marksolms #brain #neurobiology #neuroscience
Why does it feel like something to be alive? For one of the boldest thinkers in neuroscience, solving this puzzle has been a lifetime's quest. Now, at last, Mark Solms, who discovered the brain mechanism for dreaming, has arrived at his answer. More than just a philosophical argument, the Free Energy theory will profoundly change how you understand your existence.
The very idea that a breakthrough is possible may seem outrageous. Isn't consciousness intangible, beyond the reach of empirical methods? Yet Solms shows in forensic detail how misguided assumptions have concealed its nature. Only by sticking closely to the medical facts does a way past our obstacles appear. Join him on an extraordinary voyage into the strange realms beyond and learn what we are.

Whether or not Dolms hypothesis is right, the neuroscience community should test it! Amazing topic! Thanks for sharing it! Great job of you both guys!

Mark Solms is truly a visionary in neuroscience.

What a fascinating interview. I'm thoroughly enjoying this deep dive into Dr Solms's research and how his experiences affected his study and research choices. Thank you! (I've already read The Hidden Spring, and I'm sure these conversations will help me recall and better understand the book with greater depth. I'm also looking forward to hearing more about the progress being made in the development of a simple machine (virtual or real) with artificial consciousness, as I progress through parts 2-9.

The idea that feelings are at the core of consciousness is intriguing. Excited to learn more about this theory in the upcoming episodes.

Thank you for your support my friend

Feelings as core of consciousness? Intriguing!

[@gordonpepper1400]

makes sense to me, not self consciousness but consciousness, yes
