 oration of dreams and other conscious experiences in sleep - Francesca Sic

CONTACT:Psychology Reception
DESCRIPTION:Dreaming provides a unique window into consciousness. In the a
 bsence of external input\, the sleeping brain can generate entire worlds o
 f vivid perceptions\, illusory actions\, and strong emotions that are almo
 st indistinguishable from waking life. How the brain achieves such a remar
 kable simulation\, and why\, are questions that remain unresolved yet are 
 important for understanding consciousness. Although the neurobiology of dr
 eaming is still incompletely understood\, recent research has begun to ide
 ntify key neurophysiological correlates of dreams. In this talk\, I will o
 utline the phenomenology of dreams\, survey advances in their scientific i
 nvestigation\, and discuss how different experimental approaches may clari
 fy both the mechanisms underlying dreaming and important principles underl
 ying conscious experience.\n\nHost: Prof Tristan Bekinschtein\n\nThis talk
  will be recorded and uploaded to the Zangwill Club "Youtube channel":http
