Season 3 Episode 4 | Building Intelligence Beyond Biology: In Conversation with Prof. Ed Boyden

October 19, 2026

What would happen if we truly understood the brain from the bottom up? Prof. Ed Boyden (MIT) explores ground truth, AI, consciousness and the technologies that could reshape neuroscience and, potentially, intelligence itself. What would it take to connect the life of the mind to the machinery of the brain? For this, we may need to look beyond thought, memory, and behaviour at the surface, and instead trace them down to the molecules, circuits, and physical laws from which they emerge. With a ...

Season 3 Episode 3 | Between Order and Chaos: Exploring the Entropic Brain

January 26, 2026

Why do psychedelics, dreams, and mental illnesses feel so different from everyday awareness? We unpack the Entropic Brain Hypothesis and what it tells us about flexibility, rigidity, and the architecture of conscious experience. Consciousness may not be a stable state, but a delicate balance between structure and freedom. In this episode, we explore the Entropic Brain Hypothesis - a framework proposing that the richness of conscious experience depends on how flexible and unpredictable brain a...

Season 3 Episode 2 | Our Brains, Our Selves: In Conversation with Prof. Masud Husain

November 10, 2025

If memory fades or motivation disappears, what remains of the self? In this episode, Professor Masud Husain reflects on how neurological disorders illuminate the fragile yet resilient architecture of human identity Our sense of self feels indivisible - until the brain begins to fracture it. In this episode, we are joined by Professor Masud Husain, neurologist and clinical neuroscientist at the University of Oxford, to explore how the brain’s failures can reveal its deepest workings. Drawing o...
