Consciousness is everything you’ve ever known, and the only thing you’ll ever know. It is highly unlikely that anyone else will be able to experience exactly what you experience; likewise, you will probably never be able to sample someone else’s mind directly. Because the topic of consciousness is so personal and so complex, and because scientists have confined means to study it, the field has attracted thinkers from many spheres, beyond neuroscience: philosophers, theologians, psychologists, physicists, evolutionary theorists, computer scientists, and others. This channel’s mission is to critically appreciate this wealth of ideas. Learn more about the channel's creator at www.williamgadea.com.

A Conversation with Neurosurgeon Theodore Schwartz about Scoville, Freud, Free Will, and more

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz, neurosurgeon at Weill Cornell Medicine and author of Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery. We discuss what it’s like to operate under extreme pressure, the controversial legacy of Dr. William Scoville (the surgeon who operated on H.M. — and on my father), and what modern neuroscience tells us about free will, brain-computer interfaces, and the mystery of consciousness itself. Does a purely physical view of the mind make our experience less sacred — or more profound?
