My summary above cuts to what I think is the core insight about focusing clearly and experimentally on exactly the elements of interest: consciousness and neurons. The talk itself is a summary of the main points of many papers with different points and some demonstrations of the experimental manipulations.
The talk itself (rather than the intros) starts about 4 minutes in. I recommend just watching it. Koch is a pretty good speaker and this is sort of his “dog and pony show” where he summarizes an entire research program in a way that’s been iteratively optimized for years. Your 60 minutes will not be wasted :-)
Thanks for the pointer! This will help me to connect my speculations to the existing literature.
Any text version/transcript of this lecture, or paper that explains the points in the talk?
