  • Is Consciousness An Illusion?
    Sunday, June 1
    10:30 pm on UEN-TV 9.1
    Is consciousness something special in the universe, a carrier of meaning and purpose? Or is consciousness a mere artifact of the brain, a by-product of evolution? I hope consciousness is special, which is why I must be a skeptic.

  • Toward A Science of Consciousness?
    Sunday, June 15
    10:30 pm on UEN-TV 9.1
    Why do we have inner awareness? Why does it 'feel like something' inside to see, hear, taste, think? It's called 'consciousness' and it seems mysterious-but can science explain it? We talk to experts at the 20th biennial conference, "Toward a Science of Consciousness."

    Sunday, June 22

    Sunday, July 6
    10:30 pm on UEN-TV 9.1

  • Does Esp Reveal The Nonphysical?
    Sunday, July 13
    10:30 pm on UEN-TV 9.1
    Some claim that their scientific study of extrasensory perception, or parapsychology, overturns the worldview of science. Should we take these startling pronouncements seriously?

    Sunday, July 27
    10:30 pm on UEN-TV 9.1
    Cosmos and consciousness seem utterly different, the former encompassing the vast universe, the latter emerging from tiny brains. Yet consciousness founds most religions, and some cosmologists speak quietly, profoundly, about consciousness.
