Max Planck Institute for Brain Research
The Max Planck Institute for Brain Research is a fundamental research and scientific training institution focused on understanding the brain. The human brain is a formidably complex machine, composed of about one hundred billion neurons and trillions of connections, or synapses between them. Out of such a system, as if magically, arise perception, behavior and thought. The brain is often described as the “most complex machine in the known universe”.
The Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry is a research institute of the Max Planck Society located in Martinsried, a suburb of Munich. Proteins are the molecular building blocks and engines of the cell, and are involved in practically all life processes. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry investigate the structure of these proteins and how they function – from individual molecules through to complex organisms.
Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. It has been defined as: sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind. Despite the difficulty in definition, many philosophers believe that there is a broadly shared underlying intuition about what consciousness is. As Max Velmans and Susan Schneider wrote in The Blackwell Companion to Consciousness: "Anything that we are aware of at a given moment forms part of our consciousness, making conscious experience at once the most familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives.
Dr. Michio Kaku is the author of several widely acclaimed science books, including Parallel Worlds, Visions, Beyond Einstein, Hyperspace and Physics of the Impossible, the basis for his Science Channel TV show, Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible and the host of two radio programs, Explorations and Science Fantastic said in his latest work, The Future of the Mind, uses his brand of theoretical physics - a beguiling mix of quantumness and consciousness - to push past the current frontiers of neuroscience. The worlds media spoke with this bravely unusual mind about where today’s most daring scientific research is taking our brains. Our sit-down adventure included storied science notions like telekinesis, implantable knowledge, memory erasure, and even sentientrobots.
