I’m back with a video from the psychologist who inspired me to study this subject at uni – V.S. Ramachandran. This TED talk looks at what makes us human and how studying neuroscience can link questions from philosophy to psychology. It also mentions Capgras syndrome – when patients with brain damage to the area of the brain important for emotion believe their loved ones have been replaced by ‘imposters’; a novel treatment for phantom limb pain and what makes humans creative.
