I really enjoyed this talk by
Stuart Hameroff. I’ve been following some of his research over at http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/ for a while now, this talk is a wonderful introduction to his current research in trying to understand the nature of consciousness, and how to model this in a computer architecture … so that Consciousness itself might be an emergent output of some kind of computation. In many ways this presentation provides an excellent introduction to neuroscience has tried to understand the workings of the human brain and how this resulted in our understanding and building of artificial neural networks.
