[Podcast] Immanuel Kant: Pioneer neuroscientist (John O’Keefe) (2014x15)

Ausstrahlung: Jun 02, 2014

Kant argued that our concept of space was not derived from sensations arising from our interaction with the physical world, but instead represented the a priori basis for our perception of the world in the first place. In this talk, John O’Keefe will examine the evidence from neuroscience that brain areas in the temporal lobes are dedicated to this construction of space, independent of experience. This lecture is only available as a podcast.
