Mind-Body SolutionMind-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.

Materialism argues that our brain is our mind and that mental activities are connected to physical ones.  Materialists believe physical matter is the only reality and that everything, including thought, feeling, mind, and will, can be explained in terms of matter and physical phenomena.

She’s on fine form in this interview - charming, funny and occasionally savage as we range over her views on the nature of philosophy, the neuroscience and evolution of morality, and consider what’s wrong with the two major ethical traditions in western thought: utilitarianism and Kantianism.  1.43 - Is philosophy just a kind of science in its infancy - a ‘proto-science’ - or it is a special kind of conceptual analysis? Professor Churchland doesn’t pull her punches as she takes on the ‘language police’ approach to philosophy. 8.03 Why so...2019-09-1500 minTurn Every Moment Into a Story With Full AudiobookTurn Every Moment Into a Story With Full AudiobookConscience: The Origins of Moral Intuition Audiobook by Patricia S.

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.

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?

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.

Churchland (San Diego) gives a talk at the MCMP conference "Reduction and Emergence in the Sciences" (14-16 November, 2013) titled "Cross-Level Linkages in Neurobiology". Abstract: In neurobiology, an important strategy is to link high level properties, such as spatial knowledge or impulse control, to specific macro structuresand to signature neuronal activity in parts of those structures. At a deeper level, the goal is to understand that neuronal signature in the context of regional microanatomy, neuropharmacology, and basic neuronal physiology. Where possible, the companion goal is to link the structural changes during learning to gene expression. In some conditions, such...2014-01-2849 minPhilosophy BitesPhilosophy BitesPatricia Churchland on Self ControlNeurophilosopher Pat Churchland discusses the insights that neuroscience can give us into the nature of self control in this episode of the Philosophyh Bites podcast. 2013-12-2218 minCARTA - Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (Audio)CARTA - Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (Audio)CARTA: Is the Human Mind Unique? – Patricia Churchland: Moral SenseMorality is a social behavior seen in mammals, and some birds, which depends on an interlocking brain organization shaped by four factors.
