Noel Cheer: Inner space – the next frontier

Inner space – the next frontier

We were justifiably impressed when the space vehicle “Curiosity” landed successfully on the planet Mars. But even that will seem a relatively minor accomplishment when we land on that even stranger place called “human consciousness”.

We think that the brain has all that it needs to, like a magician, pull consciousness out of a hat. But we don’t know how it does it.

The guest this week In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Triangle Television will give us an up to date report.

He is the recently retired Professor of Psychology from the University of Auckland, Michael Corballis.

Triangle Television, Wednesday 10th of October at 7:00pm and repeated Thursday 11th of October at 12 noon.

Triangle Television, the home of original public broadcasting, can be received in the Auckland region on UHF Channels 41, 42 and 52.

Triangle Television is also transmitted live on streaming TV – an emerging technology – which can be received (as a live feed) on broadband-connected computers and on Internet-connected television sets throughout New Zealand. Point your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, ...) to www.ecasttv.co.nz

In Conversation with Noel Cheer receives funding from New Zealand on Air. This has enabled Triangle Television to introduce viewers to over 240 New Zealanders on Air during nearly 6 years of unbroken weekly broadcasting.
