- From 'On Humans': Can the brain understand itself?
- Description
- <div draggable="false" data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard= "true">Hello there, friends! We hope you're having a restful holiday, or a lively holiday, or whatever mix of those you prefer. As the year draws to a close, we at <em>Many Minds</em> are taking a much needed pause ourselves. But we wanted to share with you an episode from a podcast that we've been following for some time called <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/4nhm3fGQIxEk9b8Q5zeI8L">On Humans</a>. It's hosted by Ilari Mäkelä. It looks at humanity from all angles to understand where we come from and where we're going. The episode we're sharing features an interview with biologist and historian of science, Matthew Cobb; he's also the author of the book, <a href= "https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/matthew-cobb/the-idea-of-the-brain/9781541646858/?lens=basic-books"> <em>The Idea of the Brain: The Past and Future of Neuroscience</em></a>. In it, Ilari and Matthew take a zoomed-out view of the human brain and of our quest to understand it. This episode is actually part of a <a href= "https://onhumans.substack.com/p/brain">5-part mini-series</a> that <em>On Humans</em> did all about the human brain. So if you enjoy it, you may want to check out that broader series.</div> <div draggable="false"> </div> <div draggable="false">Alright friends, have a great close of 2025 and a great start to 2026.
