Professor Johnjoe McFadden discusses his theory of consciousness as an electromagnetic information field. Topics include synchronization of neuronal activity, CEMI Field Theory, electromagnetic correlates of consciousness, and the impact of EM fields on death. The conversation dives into the role of electromagnetic fields in memory recall, AI development, brain evolution, and the future of artificial intelligence.

Dr. Tevin Naidu discusses various theories of consciousness with Dr. Tony Nader, touching on physicalist theories, illusionism, and emergentism. They explore panpsychism, AI consciousness, and practical implications of different views. The conversation emphasizes passionate curiosity and avoiding dogma in understanding consciousness.

Curt Jaimungal is a Torontonian filmmaker and podcast host, with a Degree in Mathematical Physics from the University of Toronto. His channel "Theories of Everything" (TOE) analyses various "Theories of Everything" by exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. Similar to Mind-Body Solution, a separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, Curt is increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information. If you enjoy Mind-Body Solution, you'll love Theories of Everything - check out his channel, like, and subscribe!

Donald Hoffman, distinguished cognitive psychologist and bestselling science author, discusses consciousness, visual perception, and evolutionary psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. They delve into logical consequences of consciousness as the foundation of existence, the mysteries of reality as a simulation, theoretical limits in science, finding 'The One' mathematically, scientific spirituality, living vs. non-living, Bernardo Kastrup's analytic idealism, conceptualizing the Big Bang under this framework, idealism's implications on humanity, diversity of experience, avoiding cult-like behavior, and more.

Neuroscientist Karl Friston discusses the meaning of life and how death shapes our perception. He explores mortal computation and provides real-world examples. The podcast also covers topics such as adaptive resonance theory, synaptopathy, Bayesian brains, mental health, and diverse intelligence field. Friston also mentions influential figures like Andy Clark, Mark Solms, Gerald Edelman, and Anil Seth.

Stephen Grossberg, a prominent figure in the field of brain-mind research, discusses topics such as the hard problem of consciousness, information theories, panpsychist and quantum theories of consciousness, the link between morphogenesis and bioelectric communication, eliminative materialism, and the defining terms of consciousness and cognition. He also explains how his Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) addresses the concept of qualia and discusses his magnum opus on the conscious mind and resonant brain.
