About this episode
The episode discusses the misconception that the brain itself thinks, emphasizing the distinction between thinking and experiencing the brain.
Our thought patterns: “my brain thinks”, “my brain goes round in loops”. These are cliches. Have you ever thought about this? No, your brain does not think. And when you think, you are not experiencing your brain. This is a snippet from my Wednesday 8th April episode, The Limits of Brain Science.
