Brain and Conscious Experience: Where are We? Adventures in Brain Science: The First 50 Years

Karl Pribram

Highlights of discoveries in my laboratory and the theories that have emerged from them will be presented for active discussion. The following points will be raised for discussion: 1. All knowledge originates from conscious experience. So why do some philosophers insist that only selective aspects of conscious experience pose a "hard problem?"
2. At least three levels of consciousness can be made out, and to some extent brain processes have been determined for each. The evidence for these processing levels will be discussed.
