Can we ever understand consciousness? What is consciousness, really? We will discuss whether studies of brain activity during awakening or awareness can help clarify these questions. While these studies don’t give final answers to the deep questions, they do build on empirical evidence to point us in useful directions.
Our featured speaker on this topic will be Dr. Mark Reimers, a quantitative neuroscientist at Michigan State University working to elucidate how dynamic brain activities give rise to mental functions and moods. Dr. Reimers has worked at the US National Institutes of Health, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics.
