Interview: Consciousness, Personality, and Creativity with Heather Berlin | Particles of Thought

Your brain does all kinds of strange things. Neuroscientist Heather Berlin explains how it works. In this episode, Heather joins Hakeem to explore the mysteries of the mind: how consciousness works, how your brain constructs reality, and how you might be able to hack it to live a better life. They dive into the effects of psychedelics and meditation, and explore the future of thought in a world shaped by AI. This episode is no placebo – it really will expand your mind.
