In this episode of Brain Ponderings I talk with the German neuroscientist Wolf Singer about the hard problem of consciousness and how it might be solved. Wolf is a Professor at the Max Planck Institute of Brain Research and the Institute for Advanced Studies in Frankfurt Germany. Perhaps more than anyone else in the world Wolf has elucidated how neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex process information. His research has provided evidence that - unlike modern machine learning and deep learning artificial intelligence systems - the human brain functions as an analog computer wherein computations are performed in the high dimensional dynamic state space provided by the non-linear dynamics that evolve in the recurrent network of delay coupled oscillatory circuits.”
