BBC Who are you?

Stumbled upon a BBC documentary about consciousness.

Some quotes: “The price you pay for being aware of your own existence is having to confront the inevitability of your own individual demise” (Prof. Gordon Gallup)

“A mathematical answer is going to be the key to consciousness” (Prof. Marcus Du Sautoy)

“We can’t make a distinction between thoughts and brain activity. We don't need to assume that they're two separate entities existing in two different spaces. Rather, they're different aspects of the same physical process. So, your consciousness is your brain activity”. (Prof. John-Dylan Haynes)
