This will be an online Zoom meeting. Please RSVP on our Meetup for this event to get access to the Zoom link. See our online meeting instructions at: https://torontooasis.org/online-meeting-instructions

Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm. You can join in to the meeting starting at 10:45 am for our open social. After 12:30 pm, we will also have an extended discussion for half an hour, until 1:00 pm.

Can we ever understand consciousness? What is consciousness, really? We will discuss whether studies of brain activity during awakening or awareness can help clarify these questions. While these studies don't give final answers to the deep questions, they do build on empirical evidence to point us in useful directions.

Our featured speaker on this topic will be **Dr. Mark Reimers**, a quantitative neuroscientist at Michigan State University working to elucidate how dynamic brain activities give rise to mental functions and moods. Dr. Reimers has worked at the US National Institutes of Health, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics .

Please RSVP on meetup.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones!
