Anil Seth: Perception, AI, and Why Reality Is a Controlled Hallucination

Anil Seth: Perception, AI, and Why Reality Is a Controlled Hallucination What if everything you see, hear, and feel is a controlled hallucination created by your brain? In this mind-bending episode of Dark Matter Bright Minds, we sit down with renowned neuroscientist Professor Anil Seth to explore one of science's greatest mysteries: the nature of consciousness itself. Professor Seth dismantles our everyday assumptions about perception and reality. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience, and his groundbreaking research at the University of Sussex, he reveals why your brain doesn't passively receive information—it actively predicts and constructs your entire experience of the world. From the moment you taste your morning coffee to recognizing a friend's face in a crowd, your consciousness is constantly generating reality from the inside out. Whether you're fascinated by neuroscience, captivated by philosophy of mind, curious about meditation and altered states, or simply want to understand why you experience the world the way you do—this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about thinking itself. Dark Matter Bright Minds brings you deep conversations with leading scientists, thinkers, and innovators exploring the frontiers of human knowledge.
