"content": "Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. Georg Northoff and Philipp Klar: \"#World + #Brain = #Consciousness? - Part 1\"\n\nInformation about our interview partners:\n\n\"Northoff studied in Hamburg, Essen, Bochum and New York. From 1996, he worked as a senior physician at the Psychiatric University Hospital in Magdeburg. He habilitated in medicine in 1998 and in philosophy in 1999 and has taught at the universities of Magdeburg and Harvard, among others. Since 2009, he has held the Chair of Mind, Brain and Neuroethics at the University of Ottawa, which was created especially for him. He was made a member of the Royal Society of Canada in 2021.[1] His research focuses on functional imaging for the study of emotion, neurobiology, psychiatric disorders, analytic philosophy of mind, neurophilosophy, neuropsychoanalysis and neuroethics.\" \n\nPhilipp Klar studied #psychology and #neuroscience at HHU Düsseldorf and works a lot with imaging techniques such as fMRI in this context. His research focuses on so-called “fractal” or “scale-free” brain dynamics, which he also investigates in auditory and visual stimuli (e.g. from films). He works in Georg Northoff's team and in this interview presents excerpts from several studies that revolve around the question of how fractal brain activity adapts to stimuli or the environment in order to enable awareness or experience of the environment.\n\nContent of the presentation:\n\nThe presentation will focus on the investigation of the ongoing adaptation of intrinsic brain activity to environmental stimuli. I.e., the intrinsic activity of the brain, the so-called “spontaneous activity” with its “scale-free dynamics” (also known as “nestedness”, which is measured in the so-called “resting-state”) must adapt to audiovisual inputs from the environment, integrate them so that we can consciously experience stimuli. This process is called “alignment” by the “Temporo-spatial Theory of consciousness (TTC)”.\n\nMore on this in our joint interview, which will be published in 2 parts due to its length. Part 1 “World + brain = consciousness?”, which I had the pleasure of conducting together with Axel, Philipp and Georg, has been published on our YouTube channel “Zoomposium” at the following link: https://youtu.be/J12KMGj0His\n\nor at: https://philosophies.de/index.php/2025/06/09/welt-gehirn-bewusstsein/\n",
