Wires of Perception: The Nervous System and the Nature of Consciousness

We'll explore the relationship between the human nervous system and the experience of consciousness. Beginning with the structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, and autonomic nervous system, the discussion will examine how the body processes perception, emotion, memory, stress, and awareness itself. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophical reflection, the presentation will also consider deeper questions surrounding the nature of consciousness, embodiment, and the connection between the physical body and subjective experience.
