Sensory Implications of Brain Organoids with Patricia Churchland

11/8/2019; 44 minutes

What defines consciousness? Can it develop in a petri dish? Patricia Churchland reviews the current state of brain organoid research and shares her views on how conciseness and physical structures within the brain intersect. She also cautions the media on the tendency to "over hype" new research advances. Recorded on 10/04/2019. (#35247)
