How do we perceive the world? Is our reality just a series of controlled hallucinations? Anil Seth, PhD (University of Sussex), Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, reveals the role hallucinations play in our reality, and explores the idea of the brain as a “prediction machine.” He will also explain how a deeper understanding of consciousness can impact the understanding and eventually treatment of mental illness. #neuroscience #mindscience #consciousness #anilseth #hallucination #reality
