Consciousness as Social Perception (BSP 108)
Michal Graziano and Kevin (click image to play interview)
In his latest book Consciousness and the Social Brain Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano proposes a unique and compelling theory of consciousness. He proposes that the same circuits that the human brain uses to attribute awareness to others are used to model self-awareness. He emphasizes that his attention schema theory is only tentative, but it is testable and it does fit our current knowledge of brain function.In a recent interview for the Brain Science Podcast (BSP 108), Graziano used the following clinical ex...

Initial Exposure
Each moment signifies an encounter or lack there of that spirals into pinnacles of movement. And, every movement a person makes is part of a larger healing transformation. Whether an encounter feels like smooth sailing or just back breaking labor, pay no heed. The real significance is the deeper eruption of meaning that concludes the passing of said event and that which carries on to the next pinna...

Sleep Science with Penny Lewis (BSP 107)
Penny Lewis (click image to play interview)
In The Secret World of Sleep: The Surprising Science of the Mind at Rest Dr. Penelope A. Lewis provides a highly readable account of the fascinating world of sleep research. Fascinating research is being carried out with animals as varied as fruit flies and rats, as well as with humans. I was surprised to learn that most people actually find it fairly easy to fall asleep in an fMRI scanner.I have just posted an interview with Dr. Lewis (BSP 107) that includes a discussion of the role of sleep in memory as well as interesting findings about how synapses in the...

Receiving the wild heart of medicine : Earth
This is the third in a series of posts engaging with the five elemental phases in a visceral, symbolic way. You can find the post on the wood phase element by clicking here, and the post on the fire element by clicking here.
With each of these posts, I catch myself wanting to start by saying how special the current element is, how different from the others! It’s true, each one is incredibly distinct, a separate universe. What does water know of fire, or fire of water? Yes, each is special–just as special as everybody else.
Each a perfect child in the eyes of all-embracing mother earth.
Earth is simple–so glor...

"The Cognitive-Emotional Brain" (BSP 106)
Luiz Pessoa of the University of Maryland
In The Cognitive-Emotional Brain: From Interactions to Integration neuroscientist Luiz Pessoa argues that emotion and cognition are deeply intertwined throughout many levels of the brain. In a recent interview (BSP 106) Pessoa and I focused on recent discoveries about the amygdala and Thalamus that challenge traditional assumptions about what these structures do. The amygdala processes more than fear (and other negative stimuli) and the Thalamus is more than a mere relay station.This a fairly technical discussion but Pessoa did a good job of making the ma...

Brain Plasticity with Michael Merzenich (BSP 105)
Michael Merzenich
If you have read anything about brain plasticity you have seen the name Michael Merzenich. Dr. Merzenich is one of the pioneers in this field, having spent over 30 years documenting that the human brain (and that of other mammals) continues to change throughout life. I interviewed Dr. Merzenich several years ago (BSP 54), but the publication of his first book Soft-Wired: How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Can Change Your Life gave us another opportunity to talk about how we can app...
