In this episode, Wendy speaks with anthropologist and neuroscientist Andreas Roepstorff. Andreas has been a pioneer in integrating these two approaches, examining how social context impacts the mind and brain. Their conversation covers a range of topics, including: • navigating academic training in two disciplines, and how he bridges the different perspectives of neuroscience and anthropology; • how being a research subject changed his view of subjective experience; • intersubjectivity, and his work to bring together first- and third-person perspectives; • research on fire-walking; • meditation and microphenomenology; • studying playfulness; • predictive models of mind; • the power of mindfulness to help with rumination; • and the importance of exploring how two minds can process and respond differently to the same experience.
