This short comes from a conversation that co-hosts Jean Gomes and Scott Allender had with Anil Seth back in November 2021 (S3 Ep11).
LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION:
Dissolving the Central Mystery of Life with Anil Seth
For years explaining exactly how our brains conjure subjective conscious experience has been described by cognitive scientists as ‘the hard problem’. In this episode of the Evolving Leader podcast, co-hosts Jean Gomes and Scott Allender talk to Professor Anil Seth, professor of cognitive and computational neuroscience at the University of Sussex whose book (Being You, Faber 2021) continues this exploration, proposing an idea of the human mind as a “highly evolved prediction machine”, rooted in the functions of the body and “constantly hallucinating the world and the self” to create reality.
