CS Degree Day 97

What I did today?

• Lecture 7: Language and the brain - Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area, aphasia
• Lecture 8: Sleep and circadian rhythms
• Lecture 9: Consciousness - neural correlates, the hard problem

I have heavily studied sleep through research papers & books in my hope to alleviate the sleep problems I have had since childhood.

Why does physical information processing give rise to subjective experience? We can explain neural correlates of consciousness - which brain regions activate during which experiences. We cannot explain why those activations feel like anything at all.
