Episode Synopsis

For this episode I have the pleasure of talking with the neuroscientist Kate Jeffery, who is an expert on the hippocampus, the area of the brain that specialises in memory and place. We discuss how memory is closely connected to the imagination, and the constitutive role that place plays in forming memories. We talk about the kind of memory that extends through our bodies in the form of muscular memory, and about the possibility of a different way of doing science.
