The Alien Hand and the Shattered World

How does the brain construct our sense of self—and what happens when it breaks apart? Come along as Dr. David Filippi investigates haunting case histories: from the phenomenon of alien hand syndrome, to the story of Lev Zasetsky, a man lost in a world his mind could no longer piece together.

Along the way, we explore groundbreaking insights from neuroscience and ask: What can these stories teach us about embodied cognition, adaptation, and even artificial intelligence?

Join us on a journey that spans the boundaries of science, philosophy, and technology—and challenges us to rethink what it means to truly understand.
