About This Video

I had the privilege to talk to Professor Mark Solms. He is the Director of the Neuroscience Institute at the University of Cape Town. He is credited for discovering the brain mechanism for dreaming and bringing Freudian psychoanalytic thought to modern neuroscience. However, dreams aren't the sole reason Mark trained as a neuropsychologist. He was out for the heart of the discipline - consciousness itself. What is a mind? How does the self, the thing that experiences, arise from the pink matter that is the brain? Listen to Mark tackle these questions head on.
