THE UNPREDICTABLE MIND
The Unpredictable Mind is a scientific podcast that explores neurological cases and syndromes that challenge our understanding of the brain, the mind, and consciousness. Through seven episodes, each dedicated to a specific condition or phenomenon, the podcast investigates how the brain constructs its internal model of the body and the world, and what happens when that construction breaks down, reorganizes, or reveals something unexpected.
