5 extraordinary ideas about the mind and what it means to be conscious

Two years after opening our bureau in New York, we are delighted to share that New Scientist is launching a new live event series in the US. This kicks off on 22 June in New York with a one-day masterclass on the science of the brain and human consciousness. To celebrate, we have unlocked access to five in-depth features exploring mysteries of the human mind. There is perhaps no bigger puzzle of human experience than consciousness.
