A noted scientist discusses free will, consciousness, attention and memory and their relationship to the human nervous system. In a wide ranging discussion, Crick points out that the hypothesis that the brain is the seat of consciousness has not yet been proven.
The late Francis Crick, PhD, received the Nobel Prize in 1962 for the discovery of DNA’s central role in the process of genetic reproduction. He was author of Life Itself, What Mad Pursuit and The Astonishing Hypothesis.
