WORLD OF LEARNING: NEUROSCIENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS

"A Conversation With Antonio Damasio and Siri Hustvedt" Big Think Breakthroughs Video 9/22/10

You can read about Damasio and Hustvedt's conversation in the December issue of Discover, but far better to watch the video of it...and you won't have to subscribe to the magazine (of course, it is a great magazine). Damasio, a star of neuroscience, just published Self Comes to Mind, a book I want to read. Hustvedt is a novelist (I really liked her The Sorrows of an American), who is very knowledgeable about Damasio's field. They touch on Phineas Gage, too!
