New College of the Humanities
Professor Steven Pinker discusses the exciting field of neuroscience with New College of the Humanities students. He opens with an introduction to the ‘astonishing hypothesis’ – the hypothesis that our cognition and sensibility are results of neurophysiological activity in the tissues of the brain. That is, there is a material basis for our consciousness. Find out more about studying at NCH – https://www.nchlondon.ac.uk/

Nice. I have always viewed Pinker with the likes of Harris, Krauss, Steve Vai…. Einstein.
