For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches. Most importantly, you will be able to recognize the workings of your own mind for what they really are, including every stray thought, pulse of emotion, and shift of attention.His book “The Hidden Spring” will profoundly alter your understanding of your own subjective experience.

Professor Mark Solms discusses his lifelong journey into understanding consciousness, influenced by personal experiences and notable figures in psychology and neuroscience. He emphasizes the importance of feelings in consciousness, critiques the DSM and psychiatric practices, and explores the intersection of neuroscience with AI. Solms also shares insights on dreams, psychoanalysis, and the significance of subjective experience in understanding the mind.

A conversation with Stephen Grossberg, whose work on explaining how our brains make our conscious minds has led him to be called the Father of AI and the Newton and Einstein of the Mind.

Dr. Stephen Grossberg discusses his extensive journey into the study of consciousness, neural networks, and the evolution of artificial intelligence. He speaks about the development of adaptive resonance theory, and how these concepts relate to understanding mental disorders. He touches on collective intelligence and the implications of his theories for both human and non-human systems. Dr. Grossberg delves into the complexities of consciousness, creativity, and the interplay between the brain and mind. He speaks about the writing process behind the book 'Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain', and the significance of creativity in understanding consciousness. The conversation also touches on quantum models of consciousness, the concept of qualia, and the limitations of current models in neuroscience. The conversation explores potential breakthroughs in neuroscience and the future of artificial intelligence, emphasizing the importance of funding and innovation in these fields. Dr. Grossberg discusses various themes including the challenges of funding technology and research, the influence of national security on technological advancements, the complexities of intellectual property use in some Large Language Models advanced by AI companies, which he notes are not “language” models at all, and “do not know what they are talking about”, his 2025 article that explains how humans learn large language models that do express meaning, and his soon to be published book called Your Creative Brain and AI: How we learn and consciously experience Art, Music, and Meaning. He reflects on his personal journey, and the current issues facing the scientific enterprise under current Federal leadership.
