BI 237 Ehud Ahissar: Consciousness and Perceptual Dualism
Ehud Ahissar, neuroscientist who leads the Ahissar Lab at the Weizmann Institute, explores perceptual dualism. He contrasts digital brain–brain communication with analog brain–world interaction. He explains how nested sensorimotor loops, attractors, language and active sensing shape these two modes. He also touches on meditation, psychedelics, evolution of language, and implications for AI and society.
