*How does the brain combine separate neural processes into one unified conscious experience?* Mike Wiest argues that the phenomenal binding problem poses a fundamental challenge for classical theories of consciousness and explores whether quantum entanglement could provide the unity conscious experience requires. 0:00 Macroscopic Quantum Effects 1:13 The Phenomenal Binding Problem 5:00 Quantum Entanglement and Binding 7:43 Quantum Consciousness and Panpsychism 9:42 Connecting Active Inference With Quantum Physics *Michael C. Wiest* holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State University and is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College, where he studies how the brain integrates sensory information to create conscious perception. His research contributes to a better understanding of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, dyslexia, and ADHD. *More from Mike Wiest on Closer To Truth:* * Closer To Truth: The Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFJr3pJl27pLLkP0kHQKL9nZh35UkgkR_ * Understanding Consciousness - Closer To Truth - Core Topic: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFJr3pJl27pJKWEUWv9X56y_ut3xwFDv1 * Closer To Truth contributors: https://closertotruth.com/contributor/mike-wiest/ *Subscribe to Closer To Truth:* https://www.youtube.com/@CloserToTruthTV *Join the Community:* * Membership (5,000+ videos): https://closertotruth.com/register/ * Audio Podcast: https://closertotruth.podbean.com * Support the Show: https://closertotruth.com/donate/ * Official Merchandise: https://www.bonfire.com/store/closertotruth/ *Follow Us:* * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CloserToTruthTV/ * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/closertotruth/ * X: https://twitter.com/CloserToTruth Closer To Truth, hosted by Robert Lawrence Kuhn and directed by Peter Getzels, presents the world’s greatest thinkers exploring humanity’s deepest questions.
