Human consciousness is unique in nature. "Einstein" takes a journey into our brain and tries to find out when consciousness arises and how it works. ???? Subscribe to "Einstein" on YouTube now and learn something new every Friday ???? https://www.youtube.com/srfwissen?sub... There is hardly any phenomenon with which we are so closely connected. As soon as we think something, we do it consciously - constantly, all day long. What everyone knows is highly complicated. 01:20 ????Consciousness: Who is in charge of us? We depict the environment with our senses. But what does it take for a sensory impression to penetrate into our consciousness? What role does our brain play in the emergence of consciousness? In the search for answers, researchers come to an astonishing conclusion: our consciousness is basically an illusion and often has nothing to do with reality. 10:28 ????On the trail of the "I" How is that mysterious core that turns people into individuals actually formed? "Einstein" explores how and when the "I" is created. Thanks to studies with children, psychologists have discovered the secret of self-awareness and found that mental self-awareness does not exist on its own. 17:33 ???? Why do we identify with our bodies? People whose body awareness is disturbed help researchers to better understand our self-awareness. "Einstein" shows the struggle of a brain-injured patient to return to normality - and lets the viewer experience how our brain perceives the body, but also how it can be outsmarted. 28:25 ???? The simulated brain The Human Brain Project wants to simulate one of the most complex structures in the computer: the human brain. Laboratories all over the world are working on the ambitious research program. In Geneva, their data converges and forms the starting material for the first models. But these models have not yet progressed beyond the stage of basic research. Some scientists even doubt that it will ever be possible to simulate something like consciousness in a computer. ________________________ This is SRF Einstein: We tell stories that inform, educate and entertain.
