About the Show/Event
Information for The Annual Charles Simonyi Lecture - Consciousness in Humans and in Other Things at Oxford Playhouse, Oxford (Talk). Join Marcus du Sautoy and Anil Seth, Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience and Director of the Centre for Consciousness Science at the University of Sussex for this year's Charles Simonyi Lecture. How do conscious experiences arise from brains and bodies? What is the 'self'? Anil will shed light on these questions through the idea of the brain as an embodied 'prediction machine' and explore implications of this view for technology, especially AI, and for society, in terms of perceptual diversity.
