Christof Koch - One big misconception about consciousness

Christof Koch (Allen Institute for Brain Science) discusses Shannon information and it's theoretical limitations in explaining consciousness - "Information Theory misses a critical aspect of consciousness" Christof argues that we don't need observers to have conscious experiences (other poeple, god, etc), and that Shannon information is not enough to adequately describe conscious experience - Shannon information is about "sending information from a channel to a receiver - consciousness isn't about sending anything to anybody."
