Lecture and discussion with Viktor Dosenko
Brain under the microscope: where are consciousness, will, and virtues?
Have scientists figured out what consciousness is and where it is hidden in our brains? Or maybe it’s not just in our nervous system – animals have it too? The lecture also discusses freedom and unfreedom of will: where is it, what parts of the brain give us inspiration and intention, and can we influence it? Is the noble knight’s brain just a beautiful expression, or is it filled with molecular genetic meaning?
Why should the knowledge of neurophysiology about consciousness, will, and virtues be more deeply researched and publicly discussed today?
Can this knowledge be used to support our invincibility in war, to realize the practical aspects of self-support and moral resilience?
Will this path to freedom and independence be imprinted in the genome of Ukrainians?
Perhaps for the first time, a scientist will try to discuss the issue not with neurophysiologists and pathophysiologists, but with an audience of specialists from other fields. The author calls for dialog and the most provocative questions possible.
THIS COURSE IS FOR
- Public and corporate sector managers
- Politicians
- Philosophers and public intellectuals
- HRM experts and marketers
- Coaches and mentors
- General audience interested in neurophysiology topics
- Anyone interested in modern achievements of neuroscience, in particular, the nature of consciousness, moral qualities and their biological basis

Viktor Dosenko
MD, PhD, Professor, Laureate of the State Prize in Science and Technology, Head of the Department of General and Molecular Pathophysiology at the Bogomolets Institute of Physiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Professor at the Kyiv Academic University, Head of the Development and Innovation Department of the CSD LAB Medical Laboratory.
THE TRAINING PROGRAM INCLUDES
From general understanding to molecular depths:
consciousness
will
virtues
We recommend this course for those who want to
Deepen their comprehension of the biological and neuroscientific foundations of human consciousness, will, and moral qualities. The event will be useful for those who are looking for an interdisciplinary perspective on the nature of consciousness, want to ask challenging questions to an expert and engage in a discussion of the boundaries between science and philosophy in matters of consciousness, will, and virtue. This is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in neurophysiology, social engineering, ethics, philosophical anthropology, and who wants to explore what makes a person moral and conscious.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
Participants will gain new knowledge about the relationship between consciousness, will, and virtues, viewed through the lens of modern neuroscience. Participants will learn how different parts of the brain can influence intention, motivation, and ethical decisions. The participants will have the opportunity to ask provocative questions and join the discussion, including whether the concepts of “free will” and “virtue” have a specific biological basis. The meeting will also contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of consciousness in human experience and open up opportunities for new scientific collaborations between experts from different fields.
