Anil Seth: On the New Science of Consciousness

Oct 25, 2024

In this week's podcast episode, we meet neuroscientist Anil Seth, whose latest book »Being You« (Swedish title: »Att vara du«) delves into the groundbreaking science of consciousness. With new methods, we can now observe the biological processes underlying our self-reflective experience of being a self. It turns out that consciousness appears to be more closely connected to the physical body than we previously thought.


What does it really mean to be "you"? Can the brain be compared to a computer? And what insights does neuroscience offer on the concept of free will?
