The Scientific Problem of Consciousness



Quanta Magazine

Anil Seth wants to understand how minds work. As a neuroscientist at the University of Sussex in England, Seth has seen firsthand how neurons do what they do — but he knows that the puzzle of consciousness spills over from neuroscience into other branches of science, and even into philosophy.

  1. It is jinn and shaydan that colaprating with human brain all of that were mentioned in the quraan and they exist and they are people who can see in all together…….it can easily facilitate to diapear from that ……..on ……one verse that is called watabacu and it also talks about phorefet suleyman who built al aqsa in sreal and phalastin…….. who ever looking situation both of the nation should be advinced themselves for more education

  2. Mind and Consciousness they are different they are not same. Consciousness is more deeper than the mind. The mind changes but the Consciousness doesn't change.

  3. It feels as though I (that is the entity/ consciousness within me that is perceiving this reality and that I identify as being the self that is “me”) am the universe looking back at it’s self, and that is both within and consists of many subtle infinites that are all fractal in nature.

  4. I once heard a song in my dream. Im not a musician but i was learning this song in the dream, i know the lyrics, i can still hum along, but that song does not exist. Ive searched everywhere. No song with that particular order of lyrics but ive heard similar tunes. Im actually more into visual arts.

  5. When the brain turns sensory information into electric signals of neurons, is matter being turned into energy? And if matter being turned into energy, could that explain conscious experience?

  6. Good luck! Too many known unknowns and unknown unknowns to make any serious hypothesis. What is Chemistry, is not QED in action? Is not any even subtle chemical reaction emitting em photons that when not absorbed can travel all the Universe or propagate from cell to cell? I would prefer to start trying to understand how the simplest organism can understand if it is touched by something or what is food or danger: probably just Chemistry but he understand or memorize something of the environment or is just automatic?

  7. There is no compelling reason to think of "consciousness", as separate and distinct from "the objects of consciousness" (sensation, thoughts, feelings, intuitions, and dreams). When these "objects" are not present where is the "consciousness"?

  8. Cause & Effect is the Great Law that governs the Universe and given enough time it will generate, all by itself, everything that is possible.

  9. I remember seeing anil Seth's hallucinating you're reality Ted talk! Unfortunately I think he still believes a sufficiently complex set of neurons will ignite consciousness… Where I feel the brain simply interpreting signals and creating the hallucination means consciousness exists on another level from which it interprets the hallucination…

  10. Once we understand what consciousness is and how it works, everything will change. I don’t think many people are aware of this..

  11. LOL – well, if we understand consciousness as well as we understand the mystery of life today, then it will stay a mystery as well. Biologist know nothing about the mystery of life at the moment, they observe and explain the how, but the deep why is still completely obscured. Just watch the Michael Levin vids on YT to see how far away they are of a real understanding. It is a typical human (dangerous) mistake repeated by gazillions of scientist to conclude out of a bunch of knowledge they collected to have understood the phenomena – sorry they have’t. There is not even a consolidated fixed definition of life so far. Bad example IMHO. Scientist who think they are clever are usually the ones to step the quickest in this trap. At least Einstein honestly (and probably disappointedly) admitted that he still had no clue what light really is at the end of his life, although he got the Nobel prize for it.
