    Dr. Stephen Grossberg is Wang Professor of Cognitive and Neural Systems, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics & Statistics, Psychological & Brain Sciences, and Biomedical Engineering, Founding Chairman of the Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, and Founder and Director of the Center for Adaptive Systems at Boston University. He is the author of several books, the latest one being Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain: How Each Brain Makes a Mind.

     

    In this episode, we focus on Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain. We start by talking about how physics and psychology split in the approach to the brain; the mind-body problem; and whether our brains are like computers. We talk about perception and awareness, visual illusions and art, how we go from seeing to recognizing and to predicting, the relationship between emotion and cognition, and how we get unified moments of conscious awareness. We discuss the role of the prefrontal cortex, learning, the evolution of the brain, theories of consciousness, and the hard problem of consciousness. We talk about mental disorders, irrational decisions, and the design of AI systems. Finally, we discuss morality and the human condition, the unification of psychology and physics, and potential laws of biology.

    Dr. Alva Noë is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a philosopher of mind whose research and teaching focus is perception and consciousness, and the philosophy of art. He is the author of Action in Perception; Out of Our Heads: Why You Are Not Your Brain and Other Lessons from the Biology of Consciousness; Varieties of Presence; Strange Tools: Art and Human Nature and, most recently, The Entanglement: How Art and Philosophy Make Us What We Are.

     

    In this episode, we focus on The Entanglement. We discuss what art is, how art relates to the study of perception, embodied cognition, and the entanglement between life and art. We talk about human nature, and how we need to go beyond science to have a full understanding of the human experience. We discuss what philosophy is, and whether it is exclusively done by professional philosophers. We talk about the relationship between art and ethics. We discuss whether and how science relates to philosophy and art. Finally, we talk about how we can make sense of our feelings of uneasiness and uncertainty in the current cultural and political context through the framework that Dr. Noë presents in the book.

He is the author of The Dangerous Life and Ideas of Diogenes the Cynic.

     

    In this episode, we focus on The Dangerous Life and Ideas of Diogenes the Cynic. We start by talking about the Mediterranean world of the 4th century BCE, and the life of Diogenes. We then go through his philosophy, and topics like cosmopolitanism, cultural relativism, and questioning norms; the fact of poverty and the feeling of poverty; being a mendicant philosopher; his jar as a symbol; slavery and freedom; pleasure, diet, and sex; exercise and health; speaking one’s mind freely; his supposed encounter with Alexander the Great; his ideas about Socrates and Plato; and his death. Finally, we discuss which philosophers were influenced by Diogenes, Stoicism, and his legacy.

    Dr. Isabella Sarto-Jackson is Lecturer in Cognitive Science at the University of Vienna, Guest Lecturer in Cognitive Biology at the University of Bratislava, executive manager of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, and president of the Austrian Neuroscience Association (ANA). She is the author of The Making and Breaking of Minds: How social interactions shape the human mind.


    In this episode, we focus on The Making and Breaking of Minds. We go through topics in human psychology, including the nature/nurture debate; behavior genetics, twin studies, and the role of genes; the idea of genetic susceptibility, instead of genetic determinism; how to study and identify environmental factors; niche construction; and gene-culture coevolution. We also discuss neuroscience: the concept of neuroplasticity, how it works and its limits; and localizationism, modularity of mind, and evolutionary psychology. We talk about issues with how we understand “normal” development and psychopathology; “looping effects” in the study of mental disorders; the biopsychosocial model; socioeconomic structures and systemic discrimination; and the neurodiversity movement. We also discuss what traumatic experiences are; attachment theory, and how we develop attachment styles; and how children develop resilience. We finish by commenting on how science works.

    Dr. Antoine Marie is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University, Denmark. He is an evolutionary political psychologist with a background in philosophy, sociology, political science, and social psychology. He conducts cross-cultural psychology experiments and develops evolutionary theory to better understand, and if possible, mitigate, the cognitive biases that arise from people having strong moral convictions on controversial topics, typically in contexts of perceived intergroup conflict.

     

    In this episode, we start by talking about how people evaluate political decisions. We then talk about the link between moral convictions and the sharing of partisan news on social media, and the social functions of holding and disseminating political conspiracy theories. We discuss how people process and understand evidence of gender bias in hiring processes. Finally, we talk about ideological orthodoxy, and the repression of free speech.

    Dr. Dale Greenwalt is Research Associate in the laboratory of Dr. Conrad Labandeira, curator of fossil arthropods, in the Paleobiology Department at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. His work centers on description of the insect fauna of the Coal Creek Member of the Middle Eocene Kishenehn Formation in northwestern Montana. He is also interested in defining the biological and geological processes that resulted in the preservation of these insects and the original biomolecular components that are found in the fossils of the Kishenehn Formation. He is the author of Remnants of Ancient Life: The New Science of Old Fossils.

     

    In this episode, we focus on Remnants of Ancient Life. We start by discussing what fossils are, and what we expect to learn from them. We talk about how biomolecules are preserved, the origin of life on Earth, a fossil of a blood-engorged mosquito, ancient pigments, biometals, proteins, ancient DNA, and the evolution of plants. Finally, we discuss how much we could potentially learn about the phylogenies and ancient physiologies of the total biomass of the Earth through ancient biomolecules, and the future of the field.

    Dr. Christian Hart is a Professor of Psychology at Texas Woman’s University, where he is the Director of the Psychological Science program as well as the Director of the Human Deception Laboratory. His research explores the behavioral cues of deception, pathological lying, lying within relationships, lying and morality, and the factors that influence decisions to be honest or deceptive. He is the author of Pathological Lying: Theory, Research, and Practice, and Big Liars: What Psychological Science Tells Us About Lying and How You Can Avoid Being Duped.

     

    In this episode, we focus on Big Liars. We start by discussing what counts as a lie, and how honest people are. We then talk about the psychological traits of “big liars”, the developmental psychology of lying and honesty, different types of liars, and sanctioned lies in certain occupations. We discuss lying in the context of romantic relationships, and in familial relationships and friendships. We talk about the strategies used by big liars, and how they avoid detection. We discuss the consequences of lying for the liars, people who relate to them, and society more generally. We talk about pathological lying, and how it can be treated.

    Dr. Bernard Reginster is Professor of Philosophy at Brown University. Dr. Reginster's research has focused mostly on issues in ethics, metaethics, and moral psychology in 19th-century German philosophy. His new research interests include the topics of identity and intersubjectivity,

    for which he considers ideas from psychoanalytic theory, 20th century
    Continental philosophy, and contemporary Anglo-Saxon philosophy. He is the author of The Will to Nothingness: An Essay on Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality.

     

    In this episode, we focus on The Will to Nothingness. We start by talking about the premise of On the Genealogy of Morality, if Nietzsche’s approach is naturalistic, and what functionality means in the context of morality. We discuss how Nietzsche understood the relationship between morality and affect, and the affect of ressentiment. We talk about Christian morality as an act of revenge, master and slave morality, where the ideas of “good” and “evil” come from, and the role of guilt and punishment. Finally, we discuss what the will to nothingness is.

    Dr. Eduardo Fernandez-Duque is Professor of Anthropology at the School of the Environment at Yale University. He is a biological anthropologist with a general interest in understanding the evolution and maintenance of social systems. His main research interest is to examine the mechanisms that maintain pair-living, sexual monogamy and biparental care and the role that sexual selection may have had in the evolution of them. He is also motivated to study living primates as an approach to understanding the evolution of human behavior. He is particularly interested in male-female relationships, pair bonding and paternal care in humans and non-human primates.

     

    In this episode, we start by talking about mating systems in primates, social and genetic monogamy, and pair-living and pair bonding. We also discuss the evolution of biparental care, the role that sexual selection plays in its evolution, and cooperative breeding in primate species. Finally, we talk about natal dispersal in monogamous owl monkeys.

    Dr. Caleb Everett is a Senior Associate Dean in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Miami and a Professor in the Anthropology Department, with a secondary appointment in Psychology. He is a member of the inaugural class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows. His work explores language, cognition and behavior across the world's cultures. His latest book is A Myriad of Tongues: How Languages Reveal Differences in How We Think.

     

    In this episode, we focus on A Myriad of Tongues. We discuss how sometimes people assume too much universality in language, and where linguistic diversity stems from. We explore how people talk about time, numbers, space and directions, social relationships, and colors and odors. We discuss how the environment influences the evolution of languages, focusing on the example of extreme ambient aridity, and also whistled languages. We talk about the limitations of studying grammatical patterns in idealized and written sentences. We discuss whether words are arbitrary, and if we can accurately translate every word and expression. Finally, we discuss the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, and the broader study of universality and diversity in human cognition.
