Iain McGilchrist on Consciousness, Reality and the Human Brain

Mind, Matter and Meaning

Iain McGilchrist, acclaimed neuroscientist, psychiatrist and philosopher, argues that modern society has become enslaved to an account of things dominated by the left hemisphere of our brains, losing the complex, living and changing world presented by our right hemisphere. This fundamentally shapes our understanding of consciousness, matter, space and time. Cutting-edge neuroscience, philosophy and physics can lead us to a vision of the world that is both profound and beautiful, and connects with the deepest traditions of human wisdom.

Join Iain McGilchrist in this interactive opening interview to learn how to recognise when you've become trapped in left hemisphere thinking, and to ask Dr McGilchrist questions about the structure of our brains and how we experience reality.
