Conscious Minds
In 2011, the BBC launched a documentary entitled Consciousness: Searching for the Mind. During the documentary Professor Marcus du Sautoy goes on a quest for the scientific answers regarding the processes and origins of human consciousness.
During his scientific encounters, du Sautoy comes in contact with countless medical professionals across the world who conduct revolutionary experiments that reveal the depths of human consciousness. However, Marcus du Sautoy does not only witness these groundbreaking experiments, he becomes apart of them.Â
During the documentary, du Sautoy becomes an active participant in the experimental studies of human consciousness and undergoes a series of exponential experiments. After being extensively tested upon, du Sautoy gains a new understudying of not only the sciences, but he also grasps what it means to be completely aware of oneself.
Overall, this documentary proved to be both very enlightening and informative in regards to the biological sciences behind human consciousness. During the documentary, I devised these 10 Tweets which highlighted the most monumental moments from the BBC's consciousness quest. Â
