The hosts discuss the concept of replicating the human brain and question the sentience of a replicated brain. They also explore the impact of environmental factors on consciousness.
What is consciousness? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice learn about the study of consciousness and how psychedelics could uncover the inner mechanisms of the brain with anesthesiologist and founder of the Michigan Psychedelic Center, George Mashour.
