Mark Solms is professor of Neuropsychology at the Neuroscience
Institute at the University of Cape Town. He is also a
psychoanalyst, and while Mark’s early research focused on the
brain mechanisms of sleep and dreaming, he is currently working
on the neural correlates of consciousness and affect. In this
episode, Robinson and Mark talk about his new book The Hidden
Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness. More
particularly, they discuss the hard problem of consciousness and
how recent advances in neuroscience have pointed toward a
solution.
