Mind-Body SolutionStuart Hameroff: Is Consciousness a Quantum Orchestra? Microtubules, Objective Reduction, & Orch ORStuart Hameroff MD is Professor of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Hameroff became interested in intelligent behavior of microtubules, protein lattices which organize activities within living cells. Hameroff and colleagues developed theories of microtubules as self-organizing molecular computers. In the 1990s Hameroff teamed with Sir Roger Penrose on the controversial Penrose-Hameroff "Orch OR" model of consciousness based on quantum computing in brain neuronal microtubules, a notion bolstered by recent evidence. Hameroff also organizes the biennial interdisciplinary conferences, The Science of Consciousness Conference. The Science of Consciousness (‘TS...

Její zdroj při zkoumání fungování mozku nenachází jen v náboženství, výchově a společenské etice, ale i v biologických procesech a evoluci. Důležitým souvisejícím objevem přitom je, že tyto schopnosti nejsou dány pouze člověku. Najdeme je také u dalších savců i jiných druhů živočichů.

Big Picture ScienceLet's Stick TogetherCrowded subway driving you crazy? Sick of the marathon-length grocery store line? Wish you had a hovercraft to float over traffic? If you are itching to hightail it to an isolated cabin in the woods, remember, we evolved to be together. Humans are not only social, we’re driven to care for one another, even those outside our immediate family. We look at some of the reasons why this is so – from the increase in valuable communication within social groups to the power of the hormone oxytocin. Plus, how our willingness to tolerate anonymity, a condition which allows soc...

Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and IdeasPatricia Churchland on Conscience, Morality, and the BrainIt’s fun to spend time thinking about how other people should behave, but fortunately we also have an inner voice that keeps offering opinions about how we should behave ourselves: our conscience. Where did that come from? Today’s guest, Patricia Churchland, is a philosopher and neuroscientist, one of the founders of the subfield of “neurophilosophy.” We dig into the neuroscience of it all, especially how neurochemicals like oxytocin affect our attitudes and behaviors. But we also explore the philosophical ramifications of having a conscience, with an eye to understanding morality and ethics in a neurophilosophical context. Support Mindscape on Patreon ...

Ivan CorradoIVANILOQUI #10 - Menti tribali: tra Moralità, Istinto e NeurobiologiaDa dove nasce il comportamento morale? Esso è dettato da una razionalità che ci consente di agire cercando sempre ciò che è meglio per noi, oppure si basa sul puro istinto? È qualcosa di egoistico, oppure è volto a rafforzare la coesione di un gruppo? E, soprattutto, perché le brave persone si dividono su politica e religione? Oggi cercheremo di rispondere a queste domande partendo dal libro di Jonathan Haidt, chiamando in causa anche Fëdor Dostoevskij, Patricia Churchland, David Hume e Socrate!

Gifford Lectures (audio)Patricia Churchland - Morality and the Mammalian BrainProf Patricia Churchland's Gifford Lecture - Recorded 11 May, 2010 at St Cecelia's Hall, The University of Edinburgh. Self-caring neural circuitry embodies self-preservation values, and these are values in the most elemental sense. Whence caring for others? Social problem-solving, including policy-making, is probably an instance of problem-solving more generally, and draws upon the capacity, prodigious in humans, to envision consequences of a planned action. In humans, it also draws upon the capacity for improving upon current practices and technologies. Audio version.

Philosophers have always been concerned with the mind. What is consciousness? Representation? Emotion? Now that neuroscience is making headway on these same questions, we should ask: how should philosophy and neuroscience relate? John and Ken discuss this question and more as they delve into neuroscientifically-minded philosophy with Patricia Churchland from UC San Diego.

Patricia Churchland (UC San Diego) discusses how the importance of these factors can vary between species, as a function of natural selection operating on subcortical structures, and of the degree of flexibility of the cortical organization. For example, increased capacity for impulse control is a feature of frontal brain expansion. Social benefits are accompanied by social demands; we have to get along, but not put up with too much.

Patricia Churchland argued that 'folk psychology , with its everyday concepts of belief, desire, perception and thought, and its idea of the 'mind' as an individual entity in which all these processes occur, is a kind of explanatory science, effective in its way, but with obscure and empirically empty theoretical terms. It is destined to be replaced by a better science of human behaviour, and that science will be the science of the brain and the nervous system. Advances in brain physiology...
