Professor Anil Seth
Book ShamblesAnil Seth has been researching consciousness for over twenty years and now he’s released his first book on the subject, Being You. He joins Robin and Josie to talk about the book and what we do and don’t know about consciousness. Are trees consciousness? What is panpsychism? Are there levels of consciousness? Why do some people see the letter B as purple? And now that he’s finished writing a book what fiction can he escape into?
