What is consciousness actually doing? In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, neuroscientist and theorist Dr Adam Safron joins Dr Tevin Naidu to explore one of the most ambitious frameworks in contemporary consciousness science - Integrated World Modeling Theory (IWMT). IWMT unites leading theories like Integrated Information Theory (IIT), Global Workspace…

What if tomorrow's AI stares back with hidden inner life - and we're blind to it? Philosopher Eric Schwitzgebel shares his new thesis from AI and Consciousness (2026): an unbreakable "fog" of uncertainty means we'll build legions of disputably conscious machines before we ever know. Join Dr Eric Schwitzgebel and…

In this conversation, Dr Andrew M. Davis joins Dr Tevin Naidu for a deep exploration of meaning, process philosophy, and the evolving story of consciousness. They discuss the modern meaning crisis, Alfred North Whitehead’s process cosmology, philosophical praxis, and how value, agency, and mind might be fundamental features of an…

Why do science and philosophy so often stand apart - and what happens when they come back together? In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr Tevin Naidu brings together Prof Lauren Ross (philosopher of science, UC Irvine) and Prof Megan Peters (computational neuroscientist, UC Irvine) to explore why modern science still depends…

What does it really mean to see with the mind’s eye? In this conversation, neurologist and consciousness researcher Professor Adam Zeman (Cognitive & Behavioural Neurologist, University of Exeter) joins Dr Tevin Naidu on Mind-Body Solution to explore the mysterious link between imagination, memory, and perception - and what happens when…

The Mind-at-Large Project is a three-year, multidisciplinary initiative exploring consciousness and its role in reality. Anchored in philosophy yet reaching across science, psychology, cosmology, and spirituality, the project challenges the materialist assumption that consciousness arises only from brains. Mind-at-Large seeks to expand this paradigm - investigating the mind’s presence across…

What really goes on in our inner lives? Do we all think in words, narrating our experience with a constant "inner voice"? Or is that just a myth of the mind? In this conversation, Dr Tevin Naidu speaks with Professor Russell Hurlburt, pioneer of the Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES) method,…

Can phenomenology, the study of lived experience, be rigorously formalized in mathematics without losing its essence? In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, I speak with Professor Robert Prentner, a philosopher and interdisciplinary scientist exploring the intersections of consciousness, AI, phenomenology, and mathematics. Prentner develops the Interface Consciousness Lab, where concepts…

In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, Dr Tevin Naidu speaks with Dr Ruth Kastner, physicist and philosopher, about her groundbreaking Possibilist Transactional Formulation (PTF) of quantum theory. Kastner argues that quantum mechanics reveals a deeper realm of ontic possibilities, beyond spacetime, where transactions between emitters and absorbers give rise to…

What if our memories weren’t fixed, but flexible? And what if the key to understanding fear, emotion, and consciousness lies in how the brain constantly reshapes experience? In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, Dr Tevin Naidu speaks with Prof Daniela Schiller, a world-renowned neuroscientist, and director of the Laboratory of…

In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, Dr Tevin Naidu sits down with two of the most influential thinkers in neuroscience and philosophy of mind: Professor Karl Friston and Professor Mark Solms.
