Explore the relationship between intelligence and consciousness in this thought-provoking lecture by neuroscientist Christof Koch. Delve into the neural basis of cognitive processes, the distinctions between subjective experience and intelligent behavior, and the implications of advanced AI systems. Examine the Integrated Information Theory of consciousness and its predictions for conventional computers. Learn about cutting-edge research in neuroscience, including brain mapping techniques, optogenetics, and the study of neural correlates of consciousness. Gain insights into the challenges of measuring and understanding consciousness in both biological and artificial systems.
