In this fascinating discussion, we sit down with Michael Graziano, a neuroscientist, professor at Princeton University, and best-selling author, to explore the mysteries of the human mind. He is best known for his Attention Schema Theory (AST)—a groundbreaking theory that explains how consciousness is the brain’s simplified model of its own attention and an evolutionarily advantageous construct that allows us to navigate the world and interact socially.
In this video, we dive deep into his research, how his theory challenges traditional views on consciousness, and what it means for AI, neuroscience, and the future of human understanding.
