Dr. Large’s research areas include nonlinear dynamical systems, auditory neuroscience, and music psychology. He uses theoretical modeling in conjunction with behavioral, comparative, neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques to understand how people respond to complex, temporally structured sequences of sound such as music and speech. He and his colleagues have pioneered the idea that attention is a dynamic, and inherently rhythmic process. He has applied these ideas to explain the rhythmic structure of music, and its interaction with brain dynamics. His current research projects include studies of driven nonlinear oscillator networks, nonlinear cochlear models, auditory brainstem neurodynamics, cortical dynamics of attention, perception of rhythm in music and speech, perception of tonality in music, auditory pattern recognition and learning, emotional communication in music, and rhythmic interactions in nonhuman primates. More Information Dr. Large directs the Music Dynamics Laboratory at University of Connecticut, where he is a Professor of Psychological Sciences and Professor of Physics. He is Associate Editor at Frontiers in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience and Music Perception and he recently completed a three year term as President of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition. Dr. Large received his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 1994, and he did his postdoctoral work at University of Pennsylvania.

For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches. Most importantly, you will be able to recognize the workings of your own mind for what they really are, including every stray thought, pulse of emotion, and shift of attention.His book “The Hidden Spring” will profoundly alter your understanding of your own subjective experience.   Professor Mark Solms discusses his lifelong journey into understanding consciousness, influenced by personal experiences and notable figures in psychology and neuroscience. He emphasizes the importance of feelings in consciousness, critiques the DSM and psychiatric practices, and explores the intersection of neuroscience with AI. Solms also shares insights on dreams, psychoanalysis, and the significance of subjective experience in understanding the mind.     Chapters   00:00 The Journey into Consciousness 04:44 Influences and Inspirations 09:02 Feel, Therefore I Think 16:11 The Role of Psychoanalysis 22:15 Contemplative Practices and Self-Exploration 25:32 Critique of Psychiatry and the DSM 28:43 The Only Cure: A New Perspective 35:33 The Body and Somatic Practices 37:24 Understanding Dreams 44:17 Jung and the Nature of Dreams 48:53 Collaboration with Michael Levin 54:11 The Future of Neuroscience and AI 58:21 Final Thoughts on Existence and Understanding   Music for every episode  Intro/ Exit music: We Plants Are Happy Plants- The Secret  https://www.instagram.com/weplantsarehappyplants396/?hl=en   https://chicagoanalysis.org/faculty/mark-solms/ https://neuroscience.uct.ac.za/contacts/mark-solms https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Spring-Journey-Source-Consciousness/dp/0393542017 Connect with Ryan Anderson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awonderjunkie/ awonderjunkie.com Breathe4Flow.com Rumble https://rumble.com/user/awonderjunkie Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@awonderjunkie iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wondejunkie/id1739838765 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/1CcQXpxfV9P89IrKmtV2hS?si=6519a88aef444ba0 Incandescent lighting https://strainlesslighting.com/ 10% off use the code “WONDER” at checkout.
