The Realisation Festival Podcast
Welcome to the podcast of the Realisation Festival, which takes place every year at St Giles House, Wimborne, Dorset (http://realisationfestival.com).
The podcast is hosted by Mark Vernon, in conversation with individuals who have attended the festival. The aim is to develop a sense of the various ways in which realising is done, as people offer reflections on ideas, experiences, books and activities.

The confidence to be human in an age of AI. A conversation about the complexity of things with Mazviita Chirimuuta
What do we really learn from neuroscience? How can scientific assumptions shape the world we perceive? Why might notions such as soul and mind matter all the more in times of mechanistic, computational thinking?
Mark Vernon talks with philosopher and neuroscientist Mazviita Chirimuuta.
Mazviita is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh and author of the prize-winning book, The Brain Abstracted. She is also an advisor to the Realisation Festival
Details of her books can be found at MIT Press - https://mitpress.mit.edu/author/m-chirimuuta-17741/
