In this video, Dr. David M. Peña-Guzmán interviews Dr. Anil Seth about his 2021 book Being You: A New Science of Consciousness. They talk about the relationship between perception and hallucination and consider Dr. Seth's theory that all experience is, at bottom, a form of hallucination. Framed through the lens of predictive processing, Dr. Seth's work is an important contribution to contemporary neuroscience and philosophy of mind that touches on the nature of the self, the structure of emotions, and the creative power of the human mind.
