[Salon] Axel Cleeremans: The mystery of consciousness

Marvel at the mystery of consciousness as Axel Cleeremans guides us to the heart of what it means to be human. As a world authority in the field of neuroscience, his investigations look into solving how and why our brain becomes self-aware, aware of our thoughts and feelings, and aware of ourselves in the wider world. It’s a radical new look into what makes us ourselves. And something with unknown implications for a range of rapidly evolving technologies. Join the discussion.
