Listen "The Alien Hand and the Shattered World"
Episode Synopsis
How does the brain construct our sense of self—and what happens when it breaks apart? Come along for the ride as Dr. David Filippi delves into haunting case histories: from the phenomenon of alien hand syndrome to the story of Lev Zasetsky - The Man with a Shattered World - a man lost in a world his mind could no longer piece together.
Along the way, we explore groundbreaking insights from neuroscience and ask: What can these stories teach us about embodied cognition, adaptation, and even artificial intelligence?
