Science and Nonduality (SAND) Conference 16 Neurobiologists believe the mind brain system is and must be classical physics. For many, at some complexity, consciousness arises. This could be correct but faces what I will call the Stalemate: Such a mind can at most witness the world but, due to the causal closure of classical physics, cannot act upon that world. Such a consciousness must be merely epiphenomenal. - - - Related video: . https://rumble.com/v29btfq-stuart-kauffman-2015-is-emergence-fundamental.html . https://rumble.com/v29c784-stuart-alan-kauffman-interview-2018.html - - - ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/free-will/

Donald Hoffman reminds us that we can predict people’s choices up to seven seconds before they are conscious of making that choice. He explains the theories of free will, and presents a hypothesis of distributed free will which has consciousness as its basis, and includes a mathematical model in which free will arises within a hierarchical social network. _ _ _ ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/free-will/

The Transformative Technology Conference - part 1/3 Jeffery A. Martin, PhD is an academic researcher, serial entrepreneur, technologist, and investor who specializes in advancing the highest forms of human well-being. Jeffery is also the founder of the Transformative Technology space, which has grown to become a multi-billion dollar ecosystem that promotes the use of science and technology to substantially raise human mental and emotional well-being. He conceived of the space, co-founded the first academic TransTech lab, its first conference, taught the first university-level course, organized the earliest investor meetings, and many other firsts. He serves as a formal and informal advisor to a wide range of companies and other organizations in the space, is an active early-stage investor, and is a frequent public speaker on TransTech related topics. In addition to his well-being work, Jeffery is a bestselling author and award-winning educator who has authored, co-authored, or co-edited over 20 books. His work has regularly been featured at leading academic conferences worldwide, as well as major public forums such as Wisdom 2.0, H+, the Science and Nonduality Conference, the Asia Consciousness Festival, and TEDx. He has been covered in media as diverse as the South China Morning Post and PBS’s Closer to Truth, and been an invited speaker at many top universities including: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, University of London, and the National University of Singapore. He is currently the Director for the Center for the Study of Non-Symbolic Consciousness and a Research Professor and Director at the Transformative Technology Lab in Silicon Valley. _ _ _ Related content: https://rumble.com/v27ppm8-daniel-goleman-2018-superhumans-the-remarkable-brain-waves-of-high-level-me.html _ _ _ ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/free-will-tech/

The Transformative Technology Conference - part 2/3 Jay Sanguinetti, PhD is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico where he directs the NICE Lab (Non-Invasive Cognitive Enhancement Lab). The NICE lab explores how neuromodulation can augment cognition in humans using a variety of established tools, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS/tACS) and also novel methods like transcranial focused ultrasound (TFUS) and near-infrared light stimulation (photobiomodulation). Jay received his PhD in Cognition and Neural Systems in 2014 from the University of Arizona. His doctoral research focused on neural oscillations related to visual perception and feedback models of vision. He used several methods to study visual perception, including EEG, eye-tracking, and unconscious masking. During his graduate training, he also used invasive and noninvasive neurostimulation to study a wide range of topics, including cognitive control, attention, working memory, emotion and mood. Jay has been at the forefront of the growing field of transcranial ultrasound for human neurostimulation, conducting one of the first human experiments to date. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Arizona, he used concurrent EEG-fMRI to study the neural basis of depression. From 2016-2018, Jay was a postdoctoral fellow for the Army Research Labs, where he investigated neuromodulation and mindfulness training. He is also the Assistant Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies, which runs the largest conference on the study of consciousness.

The Transformative Technology Conference - part 3/3 Sanjay Manchanda, PhD is a licensed psychotherapist and spiritual teacher who has studied in the Buddhist, Yogic and Hindu Meditative Traditions for over 25 years. He has a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology. He co-led the Clear Sky Sangha in Tucson for seven years, and taught monthly at Tubac Meditation Center in Arizona for ten years. His teaching is a confluence of Eastern and Western wisdom streams creating an integral approach that includes all aspects of lived experience. Since the year 2000, he has been training in and Neurofeedback and Brain Stimulation technologies to help people to reduce anxiety and pain, improve mood and performance, and enter meditative states. He has done pioneering work on the safe and effective use of very low-level energy inputs to the brain in the form of current, EMF and light at various frequencies in the clinical and meditative context.

Beau Lotto Neuroscientist | Anil Seth Neuroscientist | Christine Constantinople Neuroscientist | Donald Hoffman Cognitive Scientist | Stavros Lomvardas Neuroscientist Your eyes and ears don’t tell you the truth. That’s not what they’re for. The senses evolved to enable us to survive and succeed in the world, not to represent it accurately. Now, for the first time, science is revealing exactly how the sense organs receive information, process it, and pass it to the brain, providing deep insight into why we experience the world the way we do—and what it might be like for future technology to transform such experiences, perhaps allowing us to see infrared light or feel magnetic north. Join an eminent group of neuroscientists and philosophers for an ear, tongue, nose and eye-opening adventure that challenges everything we experience in search of the true nature of reality. - - - Related video: . https://rumble.com/v1ooo6n-beau-lotto-rubik-cube-visual-perception-illusion.html , https://rumble.com/v1oopx5-beau-lotto-the-world-exists-but-not-as-we-see-it.html . https://rumble.com/v285rrs-beau-lotto-how-we-experience-awe-and-why-it-matters.html _ _ _ ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/delusions/

Neurologist Oliver Sacks discusses his book, “The Mind’s Eye,” with author Cullen Murphy. In his book, “The Mind’s Eye,” he “tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the power of speech, the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world.” ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/delusions/
