Event:Freud’s 4pm Session: ‘The Hard Problem of Consciousness'
Venue:Freud Museum London, 20 Maresfield Gardens, London, NW3 5SX
Date:20/06/2024
Duration:4 - 5pm BST
Extra Info:A talk by Professor Mark Solms.

Mark Solms will address the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness, taking the view that we have made so little progress with this problem because we have been focusing on the wrong sort of consciousness (perception and cognition) and the wrong part of the brain (the cortex). He will argue that the problem becomes less hard when considered in relation to affect and the brainstem. He will also discuss the relevance of two Freudian ideas to the solution of the problem.
