What idea will you discover next, Chia-Ching?

Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.

Hi Chia-Ching, Here's an idea we think you'll appreciate. Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality by Anil Seth was recommended by David Biello:

Ready to have your consciousness expanded? This talk may, quite literally, change the way you think about yourself, and your reality. Clear, concise, and compelling, Anil's talk takes us to the frontiers of what we know -- and have yet to understand -- about consciousness. David Biello, Science Curator, TED
