Marcus du Sautoy - BBC Horizon presenter and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford - takes you on a journey into consciousness, in a performance-lecture that combines music, specially conceived visuals, lighting design and interactive experiences. The evening is divided into five chapters that cover different areas of consciousness from animals to artificial intelligence. Du Sautoy and his guests explain how we can see inside the workings of the brain and ask questions such as 'What happens as our brain performs different tasks?', 'When do we become conscious?', 'Can you have multiple consciousnesses?', 'How much of my brain can I remove before I would lose my sense of I?', 'Is my cat conscious?', and 'Can a machine ever be conscious or be deemed intelligent?'.
