Connectomics: An Introduction

The Connectomics podcast, a spin-off from the OIST podcast, explores the intersection between embodied cognitive science, philosophy, culture, technology and design. In this intro episode of Connectomics, host, Mark James, research fellow in OIST's Embodied Cognitive Science Unit, asks the question 'Where is my mind?' and introduces you to some ideas that will provide some – possibly – surprising answers. Mark also talks about some of the central topics for the podcast going forward (e.g., embodied cognition, social cognition), and why he thinks these ideas are relevant to thinking about and maybe even addressing some of the problems of our present age.
