“My research has to do with consciousness, and how the brain produces conscious experience,” said Dr. Hameroff. “Part of it has to do with studying anesthesia, how anesthetic gases act in the brain to selectively erase consciousness, sparing other brain activities. The brain is quite active while under anesthesia, just what’s missing is consciousness.”
The tenth “Toward a Science of Consciousness” conference will take place from April 9 to 14 at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort Hotel, 7000 North Resort Dr., Tucson, Ariz.
