Tonight, Tuesday on FADE to BLACK: Neurologist, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and author Daniel Branco joins us to explore one of humanity's greatest questions: Is consciousness created by the brain, or is the brain created by consciousness? Drawing from his near-death experience, scientific career, and his book Spiriduality: Spiritual Initiation for Rational People, Daniel shares insights on the limits of neuroscience, the nature of reality, spirituality, and the journey of human awakening. Daniel Branco is a neurologist, neuroscientist, and entrepreneur. For most of his career he worked in the measurable world — mapping brain function so neurosurgeons could operate without erasing the person, and founding companies in neuroscience, digital health, and AI, including BioAlma, an intelligence platform for biotech. The more precisely he mapped the machine, the clearer its limit became: science can locate where a feeling lights up, but never the someone who feels it. That gap became his work. Through Spiriduality and his project for the seriously ill, Além, Daniel explores consciousness, meaning, and human expansion — bringing a scientist's mind to questions medicine usually leaves at the door.
