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.

Great stuff! It's super admirable that you're putting out such well thought-out content on science communication. We need more great scicomm devoted to the intricacies the brain and its functions! It affects us all and is fascinating science. Cant wait to see more!
Synchronicity, I was talking to a friend and said the same thing!
💖💖Thank you James💖💖
Could you go more into losing rational thinking? Anyone can see it's at the forefront of today to be desired by intellectuals in the west and only recently am I realizing that it is in fact a westernized idea. To be able to go beneath rationality and play with those images is very intriguing
Its definitely a tricky one to explore with our language and pre-conceptions. I would love to hear you explore this in more detail.
Would love to hear you talk about non-dual more. In my meditation, I keep getting glimpses into a felt understanding that everything is one and separate objects never really come into existence outside of awareness. Intellectually, I don't really have words for it and I feel like a madman when I try and explain it!
Excellent! If you continue with meditation to experience non duality, I'm afraid we will lose you, because at least in theory, real holymen doesn't exist on youtube. 🙂
Dr. Cooke, what is your opinion of Avshalom Elitzur's arguments in favor of Interactionist Dualism?

When you realize that everything is interconnected, that everything is one, you realize that you can't judge anything, no matter how small, without judging everything at the same time, including your own being.
