Why this topic:

I chose this topic since I really wanted to understand the blind spot theory. By listening to the discussion, I was drawn to the idea that understanding consciousness and experience requires a more integrated approach, combining scientific inquiry with a deeper understanding of human experience. As I am into digital media and have a growing interest in technology, philosophy, and human experience, I found the idea of the "blind spot" in science. Adam Frank also talks about the importance of expanding scientific inquiry to include these aspects, like philosophy, psychology, and the humanities.
