Welcome to The Neuromantics – a monthly podcast for writers, psychologists, neuroscientists, poets, philosophers, comedians, musicians, and anyone interested in the exchange of ideas. The idea: a free-ranging conversation between Professor Sophie Scott (www.ucl.ac.uk/icn/people/sophie-scott and @sophiescott) of the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL and Will Eaves about the brain,... more

Humans are apt to be taken in by hand-magic tricks because they bring to their observations an expectation of how hands work and what certain movements mean. If it looks as if a magician has passed an object from one hand to another, then surely that... more

Brilliant!!! For everyone who loves science and art ❤️
Highly recommend it!
I absolutely adore this podcast and I admit that I’ve listened to most of the episodes twice, and several of them more often in order to unpick the ideas - It really bears repeated listening. This podcast meant a lot to me during lockdown - hearing their voices was such a blessing. Sophie and Will are very good virtual company. There’s nothing else like this, you learn something new every single time. It’s good fun as well!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past few months and I’ve found it to be consistently fascinating.

To the reviewer who called this “pretentious”, I think you’re misconstruing Will’s intellect and passion for something more contrived. It’s refreshing to find a podcast that doesn’t dumb down concepts for a wider audience. That said, ideas a... more
I’ve listened to the first four episodes which have been great - looking forward to hearing more. I think the format of giving each other ‘set reading’ works really well. I particularly liked the notion from episode three about how we all have different capacities and modes of internal visualisation and ‘auralisation’
I was interested initially. But who is that guy? I didn’t tune in to hear his pretentious ramblings. I thought it was a science podcast not wankathon of self indulgence.
