CONSCIOUSNESS & REALITY 2024-25 SERIES
Colloquium by Emmanuel Stamatakis, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience and Medicine at the University of Cambridge, delivered on 05/28/2025.
DESCRIPTION
Theories of consciousness focus on how the brain processes information. One of the major challenges for neuroscientists is understanding how cognitive functions and consciousness emerge from brain dynamics. By studying brain scans of awake people, those under anaesthesia, and patients with disorders of consciousness, we found that losing consciousness reduces information integration and diversity in brain networks. This indicates that the brain's ability to connect and process information is significantly compromised when consciousness is lost. In my talk, I will discuss how consciousness depends on specific brain interactions and how disruptions in these interactions lead to loss of consciousness.
