It's been an unusually busy week in the SpaceTimeMind virtual studio and a very brain-heavy one to boot. Today Richard and Pete rocked out with rock-n-roll neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux (of the Amygdaloids) on memory and emotion. And, oh yes, consciousness. Also, another zombie-fight broke out between the co-hosts. Thankfully, no philosophers were harmed. At least, not consciously. Anyway, check out the video below:

Neuroscientist Joe LeDoux joins philosophers Richard Brown and Pete Mandik to discuss the neural bases of memory, emotion, and consciousness in human and nonhuman animals. For more information about the SpaceTimeMind podcast, check out http://www.spacetimemind.com
