BS 174 Georg Northoff, author of "The Spontaneous Brain"
b'
BS 174 is an interview with neuroscientist and philosopher Georg Northoff about his fascinating book "The Spontaneous Brain: From the Mind\\u2013Body to the World\\u2013Brain Problem." We explore the significance of the growing evidence that most of the brain\'s activity occurs independently of external stimuli with a focus on the implications of this finding for our understanding of how the brain generates consciousness.
