Prof. Anil Seth - Consciousness and the Perception of Self

Prof. Anil Seth, a leading researcher in consciousness studies, delves into how our brains construct our perception of reality and self.

In "Consciousness and the Perception of Self" Prof. Anil Seth challenges dualistic views, promoting a materialistic perspective that closely ties consciousness to brain processes. He describes our experience of reality as a 'controlled hallucination', crafted from diverse sensory inputs by the brain. He also touches on the relevance of quantum physics, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of matter and its relationship to consciousness.

This dialogue is moderated by Scott Snibbe, host and producer of the meditation podcast ‘a Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment’.
