What can physics tell us about the brain? - Part 1

In the last episode, Christopher Lynn, Assistant Professor of Physics at Yale University, discussed how we can better understand brain function and consciousness using statistical mechanics and information theory.

In this episode, Christopher expands on the practical applications of statistical mechanics and information theory for modelling neuron firing rates and predicting brain activity patterns.

Nicholas Gruen vs Rory Sutherland

In the last episode, Paul Smaldino, Professor of Cognitive and Information Sciences at the University of California, Merced, and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute discussed how human behaviour is shaped by cultural evolution.

In this episode, Paul discusses social learning and identity signalling and how they’re both being affected by rapidly changing technologies.
