Listen "Alex Schlegel on imagination, the brain and 'the mental workspace'"
Episode Synopsis
Alex Schlegel is a cognitive neuroscientist, which he describes as being about “trying to understand how the structure and function of the brain creates the mind and the consciousness we experience and everything that makes us human, like imagination”.
He recently co-published fascinating research which identified what the authors called “the mental workspace”, which they identify as the network that fires in the brain when we are being imaginative. I spoke to Alex via Skype, and started by asking him to explain what the mental workspace is.
