AXON: The Science of Unfiltered Neuroscience"As long as our brain remains a mystery, the Universe—which is a reflection of the structure of the brain—will also be a mystery." — Santiago Ramón y CajalAbout the ShowWhat if everything we were taught about the brain is fundamentally backward?For decades, mainstream science has framed the mind as a passive computer—a reactive machine waiting for external sensory inputs to trigger a response. But at the cutting edge of neuroscience, a radical shift is underway. The brain is not a driven reflex arc; it is an autonomous, self-generating, inside-out engine that cont...
Axon #4: The Crisis of Measurement (Part 4 : The Path to a True Theory)
"As long as our brain remains a mystery, the Universe—which is a reflection of the structure of the brain—will also be a mystery." — Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Welcome back to the conclusion of our four-part inaugural series on Axon.
In Parts 1 through 3, we dismantled old computer metaphors, exposed the 95% autonomous brain, and uncovered how spatial propagation drives neural computation. But why has it taken decades for systems neuroscience to embrace this paradigm? In Part 4, we tackle Sections 3, 4, and 5 of Per E. Roland’s landmark 2023 paper, facing the brutal technical and experimental barriers holding the field...
Axon #3: The Propagation Engine (Part 3: Decoding the Real Neural Computation)
"As long as our brain remains a mystery, the Universe—which is a reflection of the structure of the brain—will also be a mystery." — Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Welcome back to Axon, the podcast challenging scientific dogma to uncover how the brain really operates.
In Part 1, we exposed the theoretical void of neuroscience and shattered computer metaphors. In Part 2, we dismantled the "driven brain" myth, revealing the 95% autonomous engine and the fallacy of clock-time experiments.
Now, in Part 3 of our launch series on Per E. Roland’s "How far neuroscience is from understan...
Axon #2: The Rise of the Autonomous Brain (Part 2: Freeing Neuroscience from Clock Time)
"As long as our brain remains a mystery, the Universe—which is a reflection of the structure of the brain—will also be a mystery." — Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Welcome back to Axon, the podcast dedicated to deconstructing established neuroscience dogmas to uncover the true nature of biological intelligence.In Part 1, we exposed the missing guiding theory of neuroscience and shattered old computer metaphors. In Part 2 of our four-part launch series on Per E. Roland’s "How far neuroscience is from understanding brains" (2023), we move beyond the critique of what is wrong to explore what is actually happening...
Axon #1: The Rise of the Autonomous Brain (Part 1: The Missing Theory)
"As long as our brain remains a mystery, the Universe—which is a reflection of the structure of the brain—will also be a mystery." — Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Axon, a podcast dedicated to challenging scientific dogma, exposing negative results, and uncovering how the brain really operates.
In Part 1 of our four-part launch series, we break down Per E. Roland’s landmark paper, "How far neuroscience is from understanding brains" (2023). We dive deep into why modern neuroscience is stuck:
• Why the field completely lacks a unifying theory of the cent...
