At the third Cognitive Webinar, we listened to Georg Northoff from the University of Ottawa. A neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and philosopher, Northoff's title was "The Brain and Its mind Temporo-Spatial Theory of Consciousness (TTC)." Discussing his own theory by comparing it with other theories on consciousness, Northoff explained the idea that consciousness arises from the brain-environment interaction. Thanks to Georg Northoff who did not turn down our invitation and joined us and all our participants!
