What are the neural and computational bases of consciousness?
What is the mathematical structure of our conscious perception?
Can machines ever become conscious?
These are some of the big questions discussed at Consciousness Club on Friday at 7~9 pm, typically at the new office of Araya, Inc.
We also sometimes hold partnership events with other organizations such as DG Lab and General AI Challenge.
Every two weeks, a speaker gives a talk on a topic related to consciousness, followed by discussions and debates over dinner and drinks.
Consciousness club Tokyo will be resumed soon. We will have an online talk by Natesh Ganesh on August 7th.
