Geometric Hyperscanning, Interbrain Networks and Social Cognition (w/ Nicolás Hinrichs)
RSam Podcast
Speculation, Ethics, and Mathematical Practice
Nicolás riffs on machinic consciousness, defends mechanistic science against reductive critiques, and outlines rules for responsibly using math and ML—sanity checks, traversal between theory and biological reality.
Dr Nicolás Hinrichs is a researcher at the Okinawa Institute for Science and Technology and the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, interested in the behavioural and neurobiological correlates of mental health interventions via hyperscanning; drawing on active‑inference theory, process philosophy, and embodied cognition, he models interpersonal neural networks via information geometry to examine how collective priors and affect drive shared intelligence in agential systems. In this episode, we discuss second-person neuroscience, geometric hyperscanning, interbrain networks, social cognition and neomaterialism.
