Part 2/11:
The conversation touches on the idea that our consciousness is much more interconnected than it appears. The neuroscientist Grossberg's Adaptive Resonance Theory proposes that our neurons function as oscillators, resonating not only with each other but also with external phenomena. This model of the brain shifts the understanding of consciousness from a circuit board-like construct to a more ethereal system of interrelated signals. Rather than a collection of distinct and isolated processors, our minds evaluate and process experiences through a dynamic interplay of oscillations.
