Alexandra Golby

Alexandra Golby is a neurosurgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts and a professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School. She was appointed to the Haley Distinguished Chair in the Neurosciences at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.[1]

Career

Golby made a comment about a long standing big question in cognitive science. What, exactly, is consciousness? She says, "If you had asked me that as an upper mid, I would have been able to tell you; but the more I learn, the less certain I am."[2]
