Summary
In this episode we focus on the most recent 5 years of Brain Science, looking back at our guests and topics with a focus on the question What is Mind? Since there is no consensus about this deeply human question, I am sharing how my own thoughts have grown and evolved over 10 years of reading, talking to scientists and philosophers and creating this podcast.
Since this is part 2 of our 10 years celebration, I have also included some more listener feedback. Thanks to everyone who has sent me feedback since the show started in December 2006. You are the reason I hope to continue to create new episodes in 2017 and beyond.

| 0:07.0 | For the last 10 years we have explored how recent discoveries in neuroscience are unraveling the mystery of how our brains make |

| 0:31.6 | So over these 10 years years we've explored the brain from many different |

| 0:44.7 | Today is actually the second part of a look back |
| 0:48.9 | over these past 10 years. |
| 0:50.9 | Last month, I focused on the first five years which covered about 80 episodes and I tried to focus on a few main ideas. |
| 0:59.0 | They didn't really try to read the 80 transcripts of those episodes. |
| 1:03.5 | However, since the last five years only represents about 50 episodes, |
| 1:08.2 | I did try to look back over these, |
| 1:10.5 | but I didn't want to duplicate the year-end episodes that I've been doing since 2007. |
| 1:18.0 | So I took a lot of notes along the way and I finally decided to focus on one main question. |
| 1:24.4 | What is Mind? |
| 1:26.7 | This is the question, His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, presented to several pioneers of rain plasticity during his first visit to Alabama in 2014. |
| 1:38.0 | Excerpts from that event form the basis of episode 113. |
| 1:45.0 | If you've listened to that episode, you know that none of the scientists try to answer the question, what is mind? |
| 1:54.0 | I'm not claiming that I have the ultimate answer, |
| 1:57.0 | but I'm going to share my perspective based on 10 years of reading |
