Dr Iain McGilchrist - Understanding the human brain

Aug 16, 2022

Dr Iain McGilchrist joins Chris Rawlinson in this 42courses podcast to talk about the marvels of the human brain, creativity, sleep and more.

Dr Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist, author and possibly one of the greatest thinkers alive and has spent most of his life studying the brain and the uniqueness of its two hemispheres.   

During our chat, Iain tells us about his journey into understanding the two hemispheres of the brain, why the right brain is more important for creativity, creative exercises for the brain, and even how children develop the concept of time.  

It’s a fascinating discussion, so be sure to give it a listen.

If you’d like more on the topic, do check out Dr Iain’s marvellous book, The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World
