What is consciousness?
Dr. Gerald Worley, a physician and neuroscientist, dives deep into the enigmatic nature of consciousness. He examines the brain’s role, particularly the brainstem's critical function in shaping our conscious experiences. Challenging traditional definitions, he reveals how altered brain activity might enhance awareness rather than diminish it. Worley invites listeners to explore age-old existential questions through a modern scientific lens, urging a reevaluation of what it truly means to be conscious.
