Schizophrenia & Hyperrealities
Channel: Simulation
Date: 2019-05-11

Schizophrenia affects ~1% of people worldwide and is very difficult to study as it affects a myriad of brain regions. Shamans, prophets, and visionaries could be called schizophrenic. How do Hyperrealities like Santa Claus, our shared hallucination of money, and only posting the best photos of ourselves on social media interplay with Schizophrenia? What does empathy and being able to abstractly reason a mosaic of world views have to do with it? Maybe it's important for these spirits to come through us, for us to balance them into our lives, yet not necessarily act on each of them. 

This conversation is with Dr. Yohan John, a Research Scientist at Boston University focused on the neurobiology of cognitive-emotional interaction. He develops computational models that investigate emotion related disorders. https://neurologism.com
