In this episode of the Life on Books podcast, we chat with Dr. Christof Koch, a trained physicist turned world renowned neuroscientist who's primary area of research focuses on consciousness.
We talk about his latest book "Then I am Myself the World" which comes out this month from Basic Books, where he discusses Integrated Information Theory, which is a unique theory that serves as the basis of his research into consciousness.
We discuss what consciousness, how it impacts our daily lives, and what implications his research could have on our happiness, health, well being, and understanding of the world and each other.
