How can collective artistic experiences help us to understand how our minds work? 

This short audio Spark introduces the Dream Machine – one of ten UK-wide projects from Unboxed.  

Anil Seth is Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex and co-director of the Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science; he also wears other hats including Editor-in-Chief for a leading neuroscience journal and he’s a best-selling author. 

In this neurologically soothing Spark, you can enjoy some of the atmospherics of a twenty first century Dream Machine - and the words of Professor Seth - as he explains how new frontiers in neuroscience are being crossed in this collaborative space between Arts and Sciences. 

 With atmospheric music by Jon Hopkins.
