Resonance Theory of Consciousness - Dr. Stephen Grossberg, Boston University

Dr. Stephen Grossberg is a cognitive scientist, theoretical
psychologist, neuroscientists and mathematician who, with Gail
Carpenter, is the originator of Adaptive Resonance Theory - an
explanation of how we learn without catastrophic forgetting. It
also happens to be a solution to the hard problem of
consciousness. We discuss the problem of catastrophic forgetting,
the ways that resonant states lead to consciousness, the AI
cliques that have taken over the industry, and why AGI is
impossible under current design parameters. Check out his book,

studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
