    TITLE: What if the brain does not create consciousness?

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    Christof Koch is taking on one of science’s deepest mysteries: how the brain creates conscious experience, or whether it creates it at all. He argues that materialism has yet to solve this “hard problem” and will explore puzzling phenomena such as near-death experiences and terminal lucidity. His work points toward the possibility that consciousness may be woven into reality itself.

  3. 🧠🌐#Consciousness: The Unity of All Things – Where Does It All Come Together in the #Brain?

    This is exactly where our #Zoomposium with #WolfSinger comes in. Under the title “Can the Brain Understand the Brain?”, we’ll be challenging traditional notions of mind and matter.

  5. Carlo Rovelli:

    “The false “hard problem of consciousness” assumes upfront that there exists a metaphysical gap between mind and body. But this contradicts everything we have learned about nature in the last centuries. The mind is the behavior of the brain, properly described in a high-level language.“

  7. #Buddhism reframes the "#HardProblem" of #consciousness by rejecting the mind-matter dichotomy. Rather than treating consciousness as an emergent property or separate substance, #Buddhist #philosophy analyzes it as a contingent process (#viññāṇa) arising through #DependentOrigination. This relational view dissolves the explanatory gap while offering #meditative practices for direct investigation of #awareness's #impermanent, #NonSelf nature.

  9. 📛 The Limits of Consciousness 🧠

    Gerhard Roth: “It’s like cycling without a bike – we cannot step beyond the limits of our own consciousness.”

    In our Zoomposium he explores the constitution of consciousness from neuroscience & philosophy, and why we can only speculate about a world beyond it.

  10. The Hard Problem of Consciousness 🧠—why does consciousness exist?

    Chalmers’ “philosophical zombies” 🧟‍♂️don’t solve it; the question remains. Heisenberg: physics confronts us with incompatible findings.

  11. #1 🧠 What is the essence of consciousness💡?

    Philosophically difficult to explain – neurobiologically measurable – and yet the mystery remains: Why do we have a sense of self at all?

    Prof. Dr. Dr. Gerhard Roth talks about the constitution of consciousness – between brain research and philosophy.

  12. There's a famous joke in computing that there are only 3 hard problems, and one of them is "naming things".

    But the USB Implementers Forum has long shown it's up to the challenge of that description. "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" to describe a USB port's speed/protocol version is perhaps the worst name I've seen in years.

  14. The question of whether consciousness can be explained by materialism is one of the most challenging and controversial issues in philosophy and science. However, many philosophers and scientists argue that consciousness is something more than just physical, and that it poses a hard problem for materialism. They claim that materialism cannot account for the qualia, the intrinsic qualities of conscious states. #Consciousness #Materialism #HardProblem mindmatters.ai/2023/08/does-co

  15. Consciousness is the hard problem of philosophy. It is the subjective experience of being aware and feeling sensations, emotions, and thoughts. How does consciousness arise from physical processes in the brain? How can we explain and measure consciousness? Consciousness is the mystery of existence.
