What is a thought? It seems strange to imagine it as something physical, and yet we've become used to understanding other ineffable things this way, such as voices. Dive into a rebroadcast of one my favorite episodes of Inner Cosmos: "What is a thought"? eagleman.com/podcast/85

What is the internal voice? Do different people experience it to greater or lesser degrees? And whose voice is it, anyway? Find out the deep story of thoughts -- those inner monologues -- on this week's rebroadcast of Inner Cosmos, "What is a thought?" eagleman.com/podcast/85

Is a thought just like an internal movement, but in conceptual space instead of motor space? Dive into the inside story of thinking on this week's Inner Cosmos, "What is a thought?" eagleman.com/podcast/85 #brain

If having a thought is like making an internal movement, can we have thoughts in any arbitrary space? Join as Jeff Hawkins (Numenta 🧠) and I explore the different dimensionality of thoughts on this week's rebroadcast of Inner Cosmos, "What is a thought?" eagleman.com/podcast/85

Why do we have private subjective experience (consciousness)? Is that explainable by standard physics/neuroscience? This week I talk with Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) (2020 Nobel laureate in Physics) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff) to dive deep into a speculative idea: does

Does consciousness involve quantum physics? Dive deep in this week's Inner Cosmos, in which I interview Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) (2020 Nobel laureate in physics) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff), as they explain their hypothesis of the possible connection between the 2

What is the binding problem? How might a quantum theory of consciousness address it? What do single celled organisms tell us about whether we're underestimating neurons? Join me with Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger (Roger Penrose). eagleman.com/podcast/110 #consciousness #quantum

Is AI conscious? According to Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff ): no. Because (current) AI doesn't involve quantum effects (e.g. collapse of the wavefunction). And silicon computers are too different from organic hydrocarbons, which can

Does quantum physics have anything to do with consciousness? Join me with guests Sir Roger Penrose (Roger Penrose) and Stuart Hameroff (Stuart Hameroff) to discuss the (speculative) hypothesis that there could be a connection. eagleman.com/podcast/110 #brain #consciousness #quantum

What is intelligence & how should we seek it? Join me for this week's episode of Inner Cosmos with guest Mike Levin (Michael Levin) (professor at Tufts and one of my favorite colleagues) to discover how we often find intelligence in unexpected places. eagleman.com/podcast/111

How can a single genome run very different programs, and how is that parallel to an animal's brain driving unexpected bodies? Join me this week with guest Michael Levin (Michael Levin) as we discuss different forms of intelligence that surround us. eagleman.com/podcast/111

Instead of thinking of biology as a predetermined program, should we consider it a problem-solving material? Hear Mike Levin's (Michael Levin) take on this week's episode of Inner Cosmos: "Might we be surrounded with undetected minds?" eagleman.com/podcast/111 #brain #plasticity

How might previous unifications in science suggest a new theory of cognition, and what does it mean to say we are mind-blind? Explore these topics on Inner Cosmos: "Might we be surrounded with undetected minds?" eagleman.com/podcast/111 #brain #mind

What if the shape of the body is actually the consequence of smaller patterns working out their dynamics in the physical world? Hear Mike Levin's fascinating speculation on Inner Cosmos: "Might we be surrounded with undetected minds?" eagleman.com/podcast/111 #brain #anatomy

Join me for this week's Inner Cosmos podcast with complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman (Samuel Arbesman). We live in a world with unfathomably deep layers of computation: these hum quietly in the background, orchestrating the rhythm of our modern life. But we don't often stop to ask:
