#167 - No.1 Plant Neurobiologist: Plant Conciousness, Root Brains & The Sentient Cell

1 Stunde 18 Minuten

František Baluška is the cell biologist who helped turn plant intelligence from a fringe idea into a field. At the University of Bonn he co-organised the first Symposium on Plant Neurobiology, and his lab showed that the same anaesthetics that knock humans out stop a Venus flytrap from snapping shut. With Arthur Reber and William Miller he co-wrote The Sentient Cell, which argues that cognition didn't begin with brains, but with the very first cell.

Expect to learn:

- The Anaesthetised Flytrap: why plants go under with the same drugs that knock us out

- The Addicted Ants: how acacia trees hook their bodyguards so they refuse any other food

- The Root Brain: Darwin's idea that every root tip acts like a mini brain

- The Self-Assembling Animal: separate every cell of a hydra and it rebuilds itself

- The Lost Cancer Cell: why tumours may be cells that have lost their map of the body

#166 - Meet the Neuroscientist Who Discovered That Some People Have No Inner Speech

1 Stunde 9 Minuten
JOIN THE GIANT'S SHOULDER FAMILY

Become a YouTube Member for exclusive episodes, early access + ad-free viewing

https://www.youtube.com/@thegiantsshoulder/join

Johanne Nedergaard is the cognitive scientist who, with Gary Lupyan, named anendophasia: the absence of an inner voice. An assistant professor at Aarhus University and a 2024 Aarhus University PhD prize winner, she ran the first experiments testing what changes when the voice in your head goes quiet. The answer was far less than anyone expected.

Expect to learn:

- The Missing Voice: why some people report no inner speech at all, and why nobody noticed

- The Rhyme Test: they struggled with word lists and rhymes, until they said the words out loud

- Mind Over Muscle: jam someone's inner voice and they push less hard on the bike

- Heart Talk: raising your heart rate while lying perfectly still, using only words

- The Control Question: why mental health tracks whether you can switch your inner voice off, not whether it's kind

#165 - Donald Hoffman: "Consciousness Within Space-Time Is Doomed"

Donald Hoffman is the cognitive scientist whose own maths told him reality isn't what it seems. Around 1986, after seven years modelling perception, the equations said we render the world on the fly, and he has been recovering ever since. Now Professor Emeritus at UC Irvine, he has founded the Trace Institute to rebuild physics from conscious observers, starting outside spacetime. Its first collaboration, with Andrew Gallimore, asks whether DMT entities are glimpses beyond the headset.

Expect to learn:

- The Trace: the 121-year-old maths behind every observer window

- Zero For Trillions: why no theory of consciousness explains a single experience

- The Nose Test: why seeing your own nose shows how restricted your headset is

- The DMT Experiment: passing information through an entity under controlled conditions

- Mach 40: what UFOs might look like to someone with the headset's source code

Michael Masters is the biological anthropologist who thinks the grey aliens might be us. A professor at Montana Technological University, he studies how the human skull, face and eyes evolved over six million years, and has excavated at a 3.5-million-year-old hominin site in South Africa. His extratempestrial hypothesis argues that the beings described in UFO encounters are our own descendants, travelling back in time to study their evolutionary past. He says it's falsifiable, just not in his lifetime.

Expect to learn:

- The Brazilian Farmer: the 1950s abduction that ended in sex with a near-human woman

- The Earlier Cases: the abduction reports that predate Betty and Barney Hill

- Brain Up, Face Back: why six million years of skull evolution point towards the greys

- The Gamete Problem: why our descendants might come back for our sperm and eggs

- Falsifiable By Time: why he'll be "long dead" before anyone knows if he's right

Janice Holden is a near-death-experience researcher who designed the first hospital experiment to catch consciousness outside the body, edits the Journal of Near-Death Studies and spent 31 years on the University of North Texas faculty. For nearly 40 years she has tested one claim: that patients whose hearts have stopped can see the room from above. Surgeons have corroborated some of those details. No controlled study has caught one yet.

Expect to learn:

- The Leg In The Yellow Bag: an anaesthetised patient described an amputation in the next operating room

- The Post-it Notes: a heart patient saw a detail only his surgeon would know

- The Hidden-Target Experiment: pictures hidden near hospital ceilings, visible only from above

- The Life Review: reliving every moment of your life as the people you affected

- DMT Vs Near-Death: why the brain may interpret reality rather than create it
