Brain Science Podcast discussion

I have just posted BSP 115, which is an interview with Dr. Evan Thompson about his new book Waking, Dreaming, Being: Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy.

I'm delighted to hear Evan Thompson again on BSP. I received his new book as a Christmas gift, and am looking forward to diving in.

Also: I just came across a critique is Sebastian Seung's Connectome project by Alva Noe. Both have bee BSP guests!

I posted a link in the discussion section on Seung, but couldn't find one for Noe, so I'm posting it here:

Evan Thompson changed everything about how I think of consciousness and cognition. So much so that most of my old friends in the field now seem to hate me. :) He led me to what is turning out to be a new and hopefully comprehensive theory.
