Science writer Jo Wimpenny takes us into the world of animal fables, discussing with Melanie what these old, mythical intuitions have to tell us about animal minds.

Fabled minds

What is it like to be an octopus or an elephant? What kinds of minds and perceptions do they have and how can we understand these other worlds?

If you are interested in these questions, join writer and broadcaster, Melanie Challenger, in conversation with some of the world's foremost scientists and philosophers as they enter The Psychosphere...The world won't look the same again.
