Each one of those situations is heart-rending in its own right, because you know we take the notion of being a person and being a sense of self for granted if everything is working fine and even the smallest perturbation can be very disturbing and distorting.

Through interviews with top experts, the episode dives into how our brains construct our sense of self and what happens when this process goes awry.

Perfect for anyone curious about the brain's inner workings or grappling with questions of identity, this episode promises to be both engaging and educational. Tune in and get ready to rethink what you know about yourself.
