Brainwaves: Are you in there?
Christof Koch, neuroscientist and consciousness researcher, and Martin Pistorius, author who recovered awareness after years of unresponsiveness, explore the mystery of felt experience. They recount hidden consciousness, how awareness can return, which brain regions matter, and whether AI can truly feel. Short, thought-provoking conversations probe why matter gives rise to love and hate.
