Dr Robert Epstein on why the brain is not a computer


Listen Later

My guest today is Robert Epstein, who is a senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioural Research and Technology in California. He is the author of 15 books, and the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today. His books include Teen 2.0: Saving our children and families from the torment of adolescence and Parsing the Turing Test: Philosophical and methodological issues in the quest for the thinking computer. He’s going to talk to us today about why the brain is not a computer and how the computer metaphor is not only incorrect but unhelpful.
