Consciousness Is All There Is

In this episode, Dr. Tony Nader sits down with Dr. Iain McGilchrist, psychiatrist, neuroscientist, researcher and author, to discuss our various human worldviews, perception and decision making. How can individuals and society be deeply influenced by the primacy of one or the other of the two brain hemispheres? Dr. Nader and Dr. McGilchrist discuss the importance of each and the dangers of excessively relying on only one, especially the left half of the brain. In order to understand ourselves and the world, we need science and intuition, reason and imagination. The right side of the brain plays an important yet often neglected part in our ability to have a holistic, balanced perspective. Dr. McGilchrist’s most recent publication is the two-volume work ‘The Matter With Things’. A sustained critique of reductive materialism which explores the questions ‘Who are we? What is the world? What is the nature of time and space? And what is consciousness?’ He is a former Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and of the Royal Society of Arts, as well as a former research Fellow in neuroimaging at Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore. He has published original research and articles in many papers and journals, including the British Journal of Psychiatry, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Telegraph and The Sunday Times.

In this interview, Dr. Nader sits down with Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay to discuss the nature of consciousness and microtubule vibrations. From Dr. Bandyopadhyay’s perspective, treating the brain with microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions. Microtubule quantum vibrations appear to interfere and produce much slower EEG "beat frequencies" says Dr. Bandyopadhyay, and despite a century of clinical use the underlying origins of EEG rhythms have remained a mystery. Dr. Bandyopadhyay is a Senior Researcher at the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, Japan. He possesses a Masters of Science in Condensed Matter Physics, Computer, Numerical Analysis, and Astrophysics from North Bengal University, as well as a PhD in Physics from Jadavpur University, where he worked on supramolecular electronics and multi-level switching.

In this episode, Dr. Nader and Dr. Tevin Naidu evaluate the various theories of consciousness and discuss the pros and cons of each theory. From physicalism to idealism, they explain their own impressions on these theories and broaden our understanding of what consciousness is. Dr. Tevin Naidu is a medical doctor, philosopher and ethicist from South Africa. He is the host of the podcast ‘Mind-Body Solution’ which explores the difficulties of the mind-body problem, and aims to get one step closer to the mind-body solution. Dr. Naidu’s academic work focuses on theories of consciousness, computational psychiatry, phenomenological psychopathology, values-based practice, moral luck, addiction, and the philosophy and ethics of science, mind, and mental health.

In this episode, Dr. Nader sits down with Daniel Pink to discuss the difference between having more and being more and the result of each. Being more is not necessarily having more; you can be more in your consciousness, awareness, well-being, and sense of settling within your Self. However, we can have the logic that having more is synonymous in our interpretation with being more, and that's why we want to have more. We don't know how to be more, but if we have a bigger house, if we have a better car, if we have an airplane, and a yacht, we feel we are more. When examining the result of having more versus being more, Dr. Nader and Dan Pink find something surprising. Does having more bring that sense of fulfillment that being more brings? Daniel H. Pink is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward. Pink was host and co-executive producer of “Crowd Control,” a television series about human behavior on the National Geographic Channel that aired in more than 100 countries, and he currently hosts a popular MasterClass on sales and persuasion. His articles and essays have been featured in numerous publications, such as The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and The New Republic.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Nader and Dr. Michael Levin discuss the different aspects of information, communication, intelligence, and awareness of cells. We see that even on the cellular level, the cells not only react individually to inputs and information but also there is a collective behaviour, which is called collective intelligence. Together, Dr. Nader and Dr. Levin explore how collective consciousness presents itself on the cellular level and also in our day-to-day existence. Dr. Michael Levin is a Distinguished Professor in the Biology department at Tufts University and serves as the director of the Allen Discovery Center. He holds a PhD in biology from Harvard University and his groundbreaking research on bioelectric signals has important applications for how we understand cancer, regenerative medicine and even aging.

In this episode, Dr. Nader sits down with Dr. Philip Goff, a philosopher of mind and consciousness at Durham University and author of "Galileo's Error", to discuss panpsychism and consciousness. As Dr. Goff explains, panpsychism is not a single view. There is an emerging research community of scientists and philosophers who approach panpsychism in many different ways and Dr. Goff shares how they differ. Dr. Goff also co-hosts the podcast “Mind Chat” with his fellow philosopher Dr. Keith Frankish, where they interview leading scientists and philosophers of consciousness.

In this episode, Dr. Nader sits down with Dr. Anil Seth to discuss that consciousness is all there is. From Dr. Seth’s perspective, for all of us, our experiences are real and they depend on the brain and the body in intimate ways. The nature of that intimate dependance is the question. Anil Seth is a Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at University of Sussex, where he is also Co-Director of the Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science. He is a Wellcome Trust Engagement Fellow, Co-Director of the Canadian Institute for the Advanced Research Program on Brain, Mind, and Consciousness, and also Co-director of the Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarship Programme: From Sensation and Perception to Awareness. He is also the author of the top 10 Sunday Times Bestselling book, “Being You: A New Science of Consciousness”.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Nader sits down with Dr. Keith Frankish to discuss Consciousness and the nature of ultimate reality. Is consciousness an illusion? Or is the illusion what appears as physical? Dr. Keith Frankish is a British philosopher and writer specializing in philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, and philosophy of cognitive science. He is an Honorary Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Sheffield, UK, a Visiting Research Fellow with the Open University, UK, and an Adjunct Professor with the Brain and Mind Programme at the University of Crete. He is known for his "illusionist" stance in the theory of consciousness. Dr. Frankish also hosts two podcasts, “Mind to Mind”, and “Mind Chat” with philosopher Philip Goff.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Nader sits down with Dr. Federico Faggin to talk about the relationship of matter to consciousness, exploring quantum weirdness, including entanglement or spooky action at a distance, as Albert Einstein famously called it. Is there an underlying meaning to all that there is? What is the difference between meaning and symbols? How can consciousness bridge gaps in our understanding of reality? Dr. Nader and Dr. Faggin discuss how we can grasp ultimate reality and how, from this ultimate reality we can build up our universe as we see it. Dr. Federico Faggin is a physicist, engineer, inventor, entrepreneur, and author of his autobiography, “Silicon: From the Invention of the Microprocessor to the New Science of Consciousness.” In 2009, he received the highest honor the United States confers for achievements related to technological progress, the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, presented to him by then US President Barack Obama for his invention of the first microprocessor.
