Über die DVDs:
Teil 2 (mit 2 DVDs) der erfolgreichen DVD-Serie präsentiert quer durch die Wissenschaften weitere führende Größen der Bewusstseins-Forschung aus aller Welt. Die exklusiven Interviews wurden bei der renommierten, jährlich stattfindenden Konferenz "Towards a Science of Consciousness" aufgenommen.
Alle Interviews liegen direkt in exklusiver, ausführlicher Form vor und wurden nicht mit Archivmaterial oder anderen Meinungen verschnitten.
Inhalt:
AI · Künstliche Intelligenz:
Could a super intelligent computer become conscious? And if it did, could it then go on to design an even more intelligent machine that in turn would do the same, and so on? Does the evolution of consciousness inevitably lead to artificial intelligence? And if self aware intelligence can exist outside of biology, what are the implications for humanity?
AI pioneers Ben Goertzel, Anirban Bandypadyhay and Hartmut Neven believe it's only a matter of time before these ideas become reality, while David Chalmers returns to cast his keen philosopher's eye on the subject. Watch their interviews in Chronicles 2.

Bewusstsein & Kreativität:
Where do ideas come from? Can we even claim authorship for inspiration that arises unbidden from our unconscious mind? How does science fiction inform and lead the way for actual science? How do art and consciousness affect each other? Why does the mind so easily accept the obvious artifice of a movie?
Acclaimed science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer, artist Robert Pepperell, and film and stage director James Kerwin talk about the role of consciousness in their work, and how creativity and consciousness are inextricably connected.

Sex:
What is neuroscience learning about sex? What's happening during an orgasm? Can sex become a portal to raising our consciousness? How can sexual energy be fully realized and integrated into daily life, beyond the old paradigms of what is culturally acceptable?
Researchers Jenny Wade, Torsten Passie, Kleopatra Ormos and Barry Komisaruk shed new light on a subject not only fundamental to our very existence, but also central to our experience of being human.

Bewusstsein & Körper:
Does consciousness need to be embodied? How do we recognize where the body ends and the rest of the world begins? How can avatar imaging technology utilize the brain's willingness to accept facsimile limbs as its own in order to help stroke and traumatic injury patients? Neuroscience researchers Henrik Ehrsson and Frédérique de Vignemont are discovering just how essential embodiment can be.
