Dear colleagues in vision and philosophy, We all "intuitively" understand what it means to experience and to perceive. For centuries, psychologists and philosophers (not to mention everyone else) have been trying to understand the mystery of conscious experience: what makes redness feel so red and fire feel so warm? Explanations abound, but are we really sure about the question? In this online panel discussion, we try to clearly define what the quest for consciousness is searching for. Our panellists include cognitive and vision scientists, a philosopher, and an artist. What is the Hard Problem of consciousness, and why is it so difficult? Are we spending too much time answering the question rather than asking it? Join our five online panellists, live, to investigate the mystery of consciousness. Feel free to ask questions and join in the debate. www.hellolyra.com/hard_problem
