Coalesceis proud to present this highly-interactive lecture where attendees will be invited to choose their own answers (if they can) as they explore the nature & role of the human brain & artificial intelligence.Dr. Rodney B. Piercey, nuclear physicist & software engineer, will discuss the science behind intentional action, programming behaviors, & the quantum influence on free will & computing.As a group, we will examine the paradoxical nature of free will & ask ourselves the following: If we need a new Turing-style test for consciousness, what would it look like?It's a mind-bending lesson on brain vs mind vs machine. Sentient robots must wait outside.
