"Is Consciousness a Brain Process?"
Description: Modern science has taught us that there is a strong correlation between conscious states and brain processes. What does this correlation tell us? Could conscious states be nothing over and above brain processes? In this P4L, we'll consider these questions by reading selections from J. J. C. Smart’s classic article “Sensations and Brain Processes.”
