Do Indians have a unique set of neurons? Can neuroscience help us to understand culture better? Why has psychology drifted away from the social sciences? Are neurons connected in a way that is similar to how a society is interwoven?
In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr Rajesh Kasturirangan speaks about his book, "Who are we? An Enquiry into the Indian Mind and how we came to be who we are. A cognitive scientist trained at MIT, Rajesh is now CEO and co-founder at Socratus: an organization that intends to midwife collective wisdom. This conversation that traverses psychology, sociology, computer science and neuroscience is one of the best examples of the transdisciplinary spirit that the Alliance School of Liberal Arts strives to achieve in its academic endeavors.
