BS 160 Neuroscience of Consciousness

This month's episode is the beginning a four part series about
the Neuroscience of Consciousness. This month I am discussing and
comparing the ideas from several recent books on the subject in
preparation for several upcoming interviews on the subject. Many
people consider consciousness to be the biggest mystery of all,
but in this episode we explore how progress has been made in
unraveling the  ultimate "mystery of how our brain makes us
human."
