The flow chart absolutely took my breath away. I have pondered much of what is discussed in this video and at some level i knew parts of it to be true. But by no means did my understandings come close to the discoveries of prof. Solms. This is such amazing work.
Really good to have snart people thinking this. Really good for me. Any animal that has to move because it has to is conscious. It's really old Explains a lot about me. Really appreciated
this lecture seems to be centering around why consciousness is helpful to the animal. but that has never been in question. i think this is completely separate from the hard problem of consciousness

i can,t understand why there are not more comment because this is one of the best explanations of consciousness i have ever seen .
the hard problem of consciousness is "how does something as unconscious as matter ever give rise to consciousness"

🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
00:05 *🤖 The hard problem of consciousness is why the performance of cognitive functions is accompanied by experience, and why this experience cannot be reduced to physical processes.*
01:07 *🔍 Cognition is fundamentally unconscious, and consciousness does not add anything to cognitive processes.*
03:24 *💡 Consciousness does not require cortex; it can be generated from within the brainstem.*
05:37 *📊 The level of consciousness produced by the upper brainstem is not just a quantity, but has a quality called affect.*
06:15 *💥 Consciousness comes from within the brain, and it's an intrinsic property of the upper brainstem.*
08:09 *👀 Effective consciousness refers to the fundamental, raw, elemental type of consciousness that is produced by the reticular activating system in the brainstem.*
10:04 *💊 Many psychiatric drugs act on the reticular activating system to modulate cortical functioning and produce changes in conscious experience.*
26:18 *🤖 Consciousness is not a cortical property, but rather an upper brainstem or core brainstem property.*
27:01 *🔍 The quality of consciousness is called "effect" and it feels like something to be awake.*
28:07 *💡 The mechanism of consciousness is homeostatic, meaning it maintains a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment.*
30:05 *📊 The concept of predictive coding is used to understand how the brain predicts and responds to changes in its internal state.*
31:43 *🔥 Effects have an obvious place in the causal nexus of biology, as they perform an important function by telling the animal that it's in a state of need.*
34:11 *❄️ Homeostasis is a negentropic force that resists entropy and maintains a stable internal environment.*
35:06 *💪 Drive is a measure of the demand made upon the mind for work by virtue of its connection to the body, and it's regulated by homeostasis.*
41:06 *⏰ Entropy always prevails, but living creatures resist entropy through homeostasis, which enables them to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in their external environment.*
52:03 *🤔 Feeling is necessary for learning from experience and nuancing predictions in uncertain environments.*
53:09 *💡 The ideal design principle is to have a zombie-like state where we don't have to think about what to do in uncertain situations.*
54:04 *🔍 The function of feeling is not why it exists, but how it enables us to learn from experience and make decisions.*
55:34 *📊 Homeostasis can be reduced to a mathematical equation, which suggests that consciousness may also be reducible to basic laws.*
58:03 *🧠 Cognition is intrinsically unconscious, but conscious cognition allows us to feel our way through life's problems and make decisions.*
59:30 *💭 Consciousness is feeling your way through information processing, which can go on automatically but requires feeling when choices need to be made.*
01:00:11 *🔮 Prediction errors are registered in the periaqueductal gray, where they are recalibrated by the reticular activating system.*
01:02:27 *🔑 Neuromodulation regulates uncertainty by adjusting precision and reconsolidation of memory traces.*

49:19 that's crazy
Use hair net spray! 👍🏻
He has heavy South African accent.
all that touching of his hair is very distracting. it really takes away from his speech
