I’m not sure I was fully conscious for this lecture and I certainly hope I find the time to absorb the content of this video later during a rewatch. What I can say is that I’m immensely thankful for anyone that has garnered the kind of support for these kinds of scientific endeavors and discussions that I’ve observed from media containing Dr. Damasio.
12:40 Dr. Damasio, I encourage you to put energy into learning about the "cognition?" of some mycelium. There have been multiple studies posted over the past decade documenting electrical activity in response to stimuli within mushrooms a hell of a lot like our own electrical spikes and refractory periods. One thing I'm interested in learning is what is up with "spontaneous" (not caused by stimuli) electrical signals generated by these mushrooms. I deeply appreciate you sharing knowledge on cognition!
I have found till now very helpful, this idea that mind is at the cross point between brain and body. Practically, in my daily life.. Upset ? Desoriented ? Feeling of void? Go back to your body. The body helps the mind to remain healthy. Movement supports a free creative thinking.
I like the assessment of Ramachandran on consciousness on an evolutive point of view: consciousness allows an organism to have more choices of behavior in response to one stressor / opportunity, which makes this life being less predictable for his ennemies /.challengers. A decisive advantage for survival.. Convincing argument... Probably emerging gradually in life beings, a cat being more conscious than a fish and less than a human can (may not) be...
Psychopaths are conscious beings who do not have empathy or emotions , although they feel anger , hate etc , but the brain is a complex system, so to define consciousness is it the “ Soul “ ?? the processes of self ,when a person is dreaming as in (REM ,) dream being vivid ,and is the person conscious ?
Feeling has nothing to do with consciousness. Why? Because even when you are dreaming you are feeling, and the body reacts accordingly. But are you concsious?
The materialistic framework is not conducive to satisfactory answers regarding intelligence, artificial intelligence and consciousness. Does matter exist prior to consciousness? Do feelings exist before we are conscious of them? Why don't we start by looking at these unexamined assumptions? We might be surprised as to how much simpler the way forward looks like after we do.

A humanist view of the human mind. A remarkable neuroscientist. Thank you, Dr Damasio.
How have I only today found Damasio??? This guy and these cognitive science researchers are setting foundations

Do you have some references to those studies ?

Thanks for your great work. I read your papers, books and watched your lectures. All of them are so helpful to me.

Great work sir...
good lord who did the audio on this.
I wonder which of his books deal the most with the concept of interoception. Any suggestions?
I would recommend his book "feeling and knowing..."

You are partially conscious and you have feelings. Then if you are not awakened near REM sleep your dream falls into forgetfulness
The materialistic framework is not conducive to satisfactory answers regarding intelligence, artificial intelligence and consciousness.
Does matter exist prior to consciousness? Do feelings exist before we are conscious of them?
Why don't we start by looking at these unexamined assumptions?
