My guest this week is Christof Koch. Christof is the neuroscientist who, along with Francis Crick, initiated modern scientific research into the neuroscience of consciousness in the 1990s. Much of this work was done while he was a professor at the California Institute of Technology and he is now president and chief scientist at the Allen Institute for Consciousness. His books include Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist and most recently The Feeling of Life Itself: Why Consciousness is Widespread but Can’t be Computed. Christof also writes the Consciousness Redux column for Scientific American Mind.
Welcome to Living Mirrors with Dr. James Cooke.

We live in a world filled with suffering, where attempts to help have been split into largely separate scientific and spiritual communities. As a spiritually engaged neuroscientist I hope to communicate how these seemingly separate world views can be reconciled. I produce weekly videos on topics at the intersection of neuroscience and wellbeing, including consciousness, meditation and psychedelic science.
