Does consciousness come from the brain’s electromagnetic field?
- bionhoward 5y agoSeems like a stretch, and assumed to be correct without a ton of evidence. Also, even if EM fields are the medium of consciousness, this begs the "rest of the f*king owl" question -- how does that work? Fields just kick the can down the road...knowing (assuming) fields are involved still doesn't explain how fields create consciousness. My favorite result in consciousness research is World Models by Ha and Schmidhuber. No need for fancy mechanisms...computers today are not conscious, or are less conscious than us, simply because they have less expressive models of the world. https://youtu.be/gvjCu7zszbQ https://youtu.be/gvjCu7zszbQ Also, Futurama vs Deepak Chopra https://youtu.be/_GK6cct0Vjs https://youtu.be/_GK6cct0Vjs
- poormystic 5y agoIt seems to me that the electromagnetic field is an artifact of consciousness rather than vice versa.(Some people believe that consciousness is all that really exists.)
