0:00.0	Welcome to brain science, the podcast where we explore how recent discoveries in neuroscience are
0:08.4	unraveling the mystery of how our brains make us human. I'm your host, Dr. Ginger Campbell,
0:13.9	and this is episode 146. Before I tell you a little bit about today's episode, I want to give a shout out of congratulations
0:22.1	to Dr. Pamela Gay for her upcoming induction into the Academy of Podcasting Hall of Fame.
0:28.8	I think Dr. Gay is the first science podcaster to be inducted, and her show Astronomy
0:34.0	cast launched way back in 2004. She has recorded over 300 episodes. I actually nominated
0:42.3	her, but I'm sure that I wasn't the only one. So even though brain science is a podcast that
0:49.2	focuses on neuroscience, we don't just talk about the brain because you are not just your brain any more than
0:58.0	you are just your body. Over the years, my guests have debated the meaning of the term mind,
1:04.7	but one thing that is certain is that the human mind requires the interaction of our brain,
1:10.7	body, and the environment.
1:13.3	For long-term listeners, this might seem obvious, but today's guest, Dr. Alan Jasanoff,
1:18.9	argues that there is a tendency to view the mind as identical to just the brain.
1:24.2	In his new book, The Biological Mind, How Brain, Body, and Environment
1:30.3	collaborate to make us who we are, Dr. Jasanoff from MIT explores the consequences of having
1:38.1	such a narrow view. I really consider today's conversation to be a continuation of my previous discussion of this topic back in episode 109, which I called Avoiding Neuromania.
1:51.2	Dr. Jasanoff's term for the problem is the cerebral mystique, and I hope you will find his ideas as stimulating as I did.
2:00.8	For complete show notes and episode transcripts, please visit
2:03.7	Brain Science Podcast.com. You can send feedback to Brain Science Podcast at
2:09.6	gmail.com. This episode will also be reviewed in the November
2:15.3	Facebook Live event, so if you send your feedback before November 1st, I'll be able to include it.
2:22.4	I'll be back after the interview to review the key ideas and to tell you more about next year's trip to Australia.
