Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate your conscious experience. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we’re all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it “reality.”
This talk will provide an insight into how consciousness emerges from the material brain, and how changes to our brain can result in bizarre experiences of consciousness. You’ll learn about the latest research in the new science of consciousness and how cutting-edge experiments in neuroscience are shedding light on the underlying neural mechanisms that give us our conscious experience in normal life, as well as in neurological and psychiatric conditions.
Anil Seth is professor of cognitive and computational neuroscience at the University of Sussex, and co-director of the Sackler centre for consciousness science. He is the co-author of the 30 Second Brain and contributes regularly to a variety of media including the New Scientist, The Guardian, and the BBC.

O yea, another leftist intellectual sneering at the hoi polloi about Brexit.
I love this. I love the fact that for some people this reaffirms their spirituality, while for others it strengthens their physicalism. Just absolutely wonderful cautious investigation into this wide world that we are only starting to understand.
So there is no afterlife
That thing that is called by Your Name is an Intelligent System. Your body is made up of trillions of intelligent systems. There are literally 100's in each cell of your body. Intelligent Systems are systems of both Knowledge and Understanding. DNA contains knowledge and cell machinery is made up of Understanding Engines that use energy to understand knowledge. All intelligent systems organize their knowledge in a framework of Ten Directors which are knowledge concepts. The ten directors are: Name, Authors, Purpose, Environment, Language, Configuration, Operation, Owners, Market, and Value. You can adjust knowledge in these ten concepts and change your life. Enjoy !
Great video!! found you through suggested videos. I just started a Youtube Channel not long ago and very interested in the human evolution and spirituality topic. Keep following your passion and creating great content. Sending you good vibes and lots of love 💖
I've really been into this lately… as a yoga person and breath awareness breath worker… Combined with excellent nutrition… I've been noticing that the yogis called the ancient psychic skills "siddhis"
. And though I do not pursue my meditations yoga practice and breath awareness skills for the sake of acquiring interesting psychic experiences… I can say I've been having some most interesting psychic phenomena in my life and it keeps getting more and more interesting and more diverse as long as I keep enjoying the breath excellent nutrition rigorous exercise and Humble living standards with self compassion and compassion for others
Eventually, all scientific disciplines will acknowledge the reality of the human spirit as an entity with ontological status that uses the brain as its means of communication. You may be heading in the right direction, but you still have a long way to go my dear Dr Anil Seth until science overcomes its reluctance to overcome the taboo of using the word 'spirit' as a testable hypothesis.
