Consciousness is one of the biggest mysteries in science. How much can the oblivion of going under anaesthesia tell us about our conscious mind?
It’s the stuff of nightmares: being sedated whilst undergoing surgery, but still being aware of everything that is happening to you, unable to cry out for help. About 1 person in every 1000 experiences ‘awareness’ whilst they are anaesthetised. Whilst we don’t really know why this happens, research into anaesthesia is providing us with a greater understanding of one of the most intriguing questions of our time: consciousness. This fascinating discussion will be chaired by Baroness Susan Greenfield.
