TED Tuesday: The Quest to Understand Consciousness

My pick for TED Tuesday is a little biased because of my occupation. I chose a talk by neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, a legend of the field. For a great read try Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain.

In this talk Damasio discusses the neuroscience behind consciousness and how we construct our sense of self.
