MIT IAP 2005

The quest for consciousness

Gabriel Kreiman

 

            What is the neurobiological basis of consciousness? This question constitutes one of the most challenging and fascinating problems in Neuroscience. This IAP event will consist of a description and discussion of the search for the neuronal basis of visual consciousness. The discussion will focus largely on the efforts of Francis Crick and Christof Koch, particularly on Prof. Koch’s book (see http://www.questforconsciousness.com/).
