"The End Of Consciousness" | Prof. Hakwan Lau

In this episode, Hakwan Lau shares his thoughts on the direction the field of consciousness studies is heading. We explore key neuroscience concepts such as blindsight, neural feedback, and information pathways, alongside core ideas like attention and perception, and why philosophy remains a useful tool for defining these terms. The conversation then turns to the growing issue of sensationalism in the field—why it happens and how we can encourage more rigorous scientific thinking. The episode closes with Prof. Lau’s reflections on the future of consciousness research.
