About this podcast

Join Dr. Andrew Huberman and his guest, Dr. Christof Koch, a renowned pioneer in consciousness research, for a deep dive into the neuroscience of consciousness. This episode explores how consciousness emerges in our brains, its profound impact on our identity, and practical ways to modify and expand it. Dr. Koch introduces the concept of a unique "perception box" that frames our reality, shaped by beliefs and memories. Discover how practices like meditation, non-sleep deep rest, and even psychedelics, dreams, and virtual reality can alter and enhance human consciousness. The discussion also touches upon neuroplasticity, flow states, and the dynamic nature of collective consciousness, offering insights into personal growth, mental well-being, and what it truly means to be human.
