After our interview and debate, join our exclusive solo talk, delving deeper into the mysteries of thoughts, feelings and the mind.

We tend to believe consciousness is purely mental. And since Descartes' "I think therefore I am", we've privileged the mind as the centrepiece of thought and consciousness. But such a view is mistaken argues award-winning neuroscientist Antonio Damasio.

Feelings, long dismissed as secondary to thinking, are where consciousness begins, and are deeply rooted in the body and its physical processes. Join Damasio as he presents a radical new theory of consciousness and undoes the philosophical separation between mind and body posed by Descartes.  

After the talk, there will be a short Q and A session where you can pose any of your burning questions.
