Ep. 38 William Benzon, Ph.D: Cognitive Science, Art, and Music

Bill's career runs the gamut from the cognitive science, art, music, and the internet. He is the author of "Beethoven's Anvil: Music in Mind and Culture" and "Visualization: the Second Computer Revolution" (with Richard Friedhoff) as well as countless academic and review articles. As a jazz musician, he has shared the stage with Dizzy Gillespie, B.B. King, and Frank Foster. This podcast discusses neurophenomenology, music improvisation, ayahuasca, Coleridge and "Kubla Khan," Huxley, Wittgenstein, and others. I encourage you to investigate all of Bill's works -a small sample of which can be found here: http://new-savanna.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/bill.benzon https://www.flickr.com/photos/stc4blues/ http://independent.academia.edu/BillBenzon
