Adam talks with British professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex, Anil Seth about the difficulty of defining consciousness, the difference between the idea of a self and a soul, what happens when things go wrong with your perception of self and those around you, the way that psychedelics alter consciousness for better or worse, and whether Anil's work has changed the way he thinks about the big D. Not Sunny D. The other one.This conversation was recorded remotely on July 1st, 2021Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and to Becca Ptaszynski for additional editingPodcast artwork by <a href="https://helengreenillustration.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helen Green</a>RELATED LINKS<a href="https://perceptioncensus.dreamachine.world/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TAKE PART IN THE PERCEPTION CENSUS</a><a href="https://www.abebooks.co.uk/Being-New-Science-Consciousness-Seth-Professor/31290937164/bd?cm_mmc=ggl-_-UK_Shopp_Tradestandard-_-product_id=UK9780571337705USED-_-keyword=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyOuYBhCGARIsAIdGQRNH_fjXku_V0MdF_7JHYEGvUQ67MMRyU9YygWaVTkguMCQ2oxzB5D4aAvbvEALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BEING YOU - A NEW SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS</a> by Anil Seth - 2021 (ABE BOOKS)<a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/anil_seth_your_brain_hallucinates_your_conscious_reality?language=en#t-639273" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YOUR BRAIN HALLUCINATES YOUR CONSCIOUS REALITY WITH ANIL SETH</a> - 2017 (TED TALK)<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRel1JKOEbI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">THE NEUROSCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS WITH ANIL SETH</a> - 2017 ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURE (YOUTUBE)<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnl6nY8YKHs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NICK BOSTROM - THE SIMULATION ARGUMENT</a> - 2013 (YOUTUBE)<a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2020/02/search-soul-john-cottingham-review" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">THE PARADOX OF THE ATHEIST SOUL </a> by John Gray - 2020 (NEW STATESMAN WEBSITE)<a href="https://michaelpollan.com/books/how-to-change-your-mind-uk/#:~:text=In%20his%20latest%20book%2C%20How,addiction%2C%20depression%2C%20or%20death." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND</a> by Michael Pollan - 2018 (MICHAEL POLLAN WEBSITE)<a href="https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?kn=NOTHING%20TO%20BE%20FRIGHTENED%20OF&sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-topnav-_-Results" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NOTHING TO BE FRIGHTENED OF</a> by Julian Barnes- 2008 (ABE BOOKS)<hr> Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
