The brain seeks meaning and patterns. It would be very adaptive to do so in nature, because you need to know how to predict danger and to develop social ties. So our brains are very good at recognizing patterns, but also at creating them, even when they're not there. - Dr. Jay Giedd, Chair of Child Psychiatry at Rady Children's Hospital - San Diego and Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD School of Medicine, and Professor in the Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.   Episode 20: Neural Traffic Flow in the Conscious Brain with Dr. Jay Giedd In this lighthearted conversation, Bernard Baars welcomes returning guest, developmental neuropsychiatrist Dr. Jay Giedd, Professor of Psychiatry at UC San Diego School of Medicine. Their discussion touches on the nuances of unconscious and conscious states, the relationship between dreams and waking moments, and what the recent science tells us about different brain specializations.   Talking Points 0:00 – How does consciousness emerge? 8:46  – Ways to study dreams 17:05 – Conscious truth and fantasy 22:57 – Brain connectivity: The street map and the traffic flow 29:19 – Clarifying the concepts   Summary How does consciousness emerge? Jay Giedd shares with Bernie Baars one of the utmost questions on his mind as of late, namely, at what point do we cross the threshold from being unconscious to being conscious?  They examine how sleep studies and improving brain imaging technology can help us understand the nature of consciousness, and Jay considers the notion that emergence of awareness is caused not only by the quantity of brain neurons, but also by the types of connections.  To Sleep, Perchance to Dream The duo discuss dream content, and Jay reflects on his initial training as a Freudian psychoanalyst, part of which included keeping a dream journal. He makes the observation that although the dreaming mind can create a narrative where the laws of physics and biology are defied, our dreams are nonetheless connected to our day-to-day activities. Bernie suggests that one possible hypothesis for this phenomenon is the cortex trying to find meaning, even with random input. Sensory Perception and Conscious Beliefs: True or False? Jay highlights the fact that perception and cognition do not always accurately represent reality. In terms of increasing our chances of survival, it may be more important that our perception and pattern recognition skills actually work, rather than how accurate they are. Jay also emphasizes that over time, the physiology underlying conscious signals might have been strengthened by providing humans the ability to cooperate and better understand one another, thus further increasing our odds of survival. How neural traffic flow is measured and the limitations of our scientific tools. Bernie makes a distinction between the functional and the anatomical connectivity of the brain. Jay reinforces this by explaining how neural traffic flow can be measured. Scientific tools have greatly improved, but there are still many puzzles that are unsolved. In the final moments of their conversation, Jay shares his belief that one day, consciousness will not seem incomprehensible, although he acknowledges that we still have a long way to go. He emphasizes the immense complexity of the developing brain and the emergence of consciousness.   “Good science always raises more questions than answers,” concludes Dr. Giedd. “And consciousness is a great example of that.”    Get a 40% Discount for your copy of Bernie Baars' acclaimed new book On Consciousness: Science & Subjectivity - Updated Works on Global Workspace Theory GO TO: http://shop.thenautiluspress.com APPLY DISCOUNT CODE AT CHECKOUT: "PODCASTVIP"   Bios Dr. Jay Giedd is the Chair of Child Psychiatry at Rady Children's Hospital - San Diego and Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

On this episode, I have the honor of talking with Wendy Pierce, MD, a pediatric physiatrist at Colorado Children's Hospital about physiatry, also known as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Please join me tonight on the Segment as I am joined by Dr. Mike Welch as I get a chance to ask him some questions about the Covid-19 Vaccines. As many of you know I was vaccinated a few days ago and thought I would Vlog about it. For me I didn't have any of the scary side effects people talk about. In fact I didn't even feel the shot but I know that I got it because I watched it go in. My anxiety about the vaccine went down as the days moved forward. So I thought I would bring an expert in the field of Allergy and Immunology on the show to give us the unbiased clinical data around the Covid 19 vaccines. My hope is that this episode will give you enough information to make the best choice for you around the vaccine. Dr. Michael Welch is a physician in the Allergy/Immunology Division of Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego, co-director of the Allergy and Asthma Medical Group and Research Center in San Diego and a clinical professor in the Division of Allergy and Immunology in the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego. Dr. Welch earned his medical degree from UC Los Angeles before completing an internship and residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in allergy/immunology at the same institution. He then conducted an extra year of clinical immunology research at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla. Board-certified in allergy and immunology, Dr. Welch is a fellow of both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. He is involved in numerous professional organizations, having served as president of the San Diego Allergy Society and the California of Immunology and chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Allergy and Immunology. He is also certified by the Academy of Pharmaceutical Physicians and Investigators. An active author, editor and lecturer, Dr. Welch has been published in numerous scientific medical journals and is the editor-in-chief of the book Guide to Your Child's Allergies and Asthma, directed to families affected by allergies and asthma. His research center has been involved in over 650 clinical trials investigating pharmacotherapeutics for allergic disease. Dr. Welch has been honored as Physician Citizen of the Year by the San Diego County Medical Society for his volunteer contributions to the community, and noted in San Diego Magazine as "Top Doctor in San Diego" for 11 out of the last 13 years. For specific questions about reactions to the vaccine: Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment Project phone 800 CDC-INFO or https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/cisa/index.html www.cdc.gov for any need for info about the vaccine.
