EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Heather Berlin is a cognitive neuroscientist and Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine. All humans have a subjective experience of reality, but why? What does it mean that a collection of atoms, arranged into a particular configuration, is able to consider its own existence? How can it dream, reflect and not only be a passenger within its environment but to also become captain of the ship and affect its own destiny?
