The Neuromantics – Episode 10 (S2)
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 09:45:05 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 10 Why are some words funnier than others? Can you learn a theory of humour? Are the sounds we find comical just as effective in other languages? The Neuromantics – writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – give funny words a thorough seeing to, asking whether it’s possible to find any consensus on humour or if it’s a case of each to his own. Stepping across from funny to absurd, they explore the ideas behind Edward Lear’s The Jumblies, and visit a very unsettling short story by the Luxembourgeois writer Florence Sunnen.

The Neuromantics – Episode 9 (S2)
Fri, 24 Feb 2023 09:55:18 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 9 Think you know all about testosterone? Well, you might have to think again after this episode of the Neuromantics, as Will and Sophie discuss the sex-related goings on in our brains. The relationship between testosterone and our brains is not as clear-cut as it is with our bodies, and a scientific paper elaborates on how the hormone can convert in mammal brains into a form of oestrogen. What does this mean for our understanding of masculinity and femininity and socially-determined sexual behaviours? As it's the testosterone episode, it’s only fitting that they should discuss a very Freudian scene in Ian Fleming’s Diamonds Are for Ever, as well as a poignant moment from James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room.

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 10:52:18 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 8 Loss, survival and sympathy are the dominant themes of this episode of the Neuromantics, with Will and Sophie discussing research into the impact of maternal death on mammalian offspring. Maternal care is essential to survival and young mammals deprived of their mothers often move away from their social group, putting themselves at greater risk. But what happens in the long term? Can this trauma be passed on and affect further generations? Is there something genetic going on? Also coming under the spotlight is a short story by Andrea Levy which raises issues of belonging, class and social responsibility. With Will Eaves and Professor Sophie Scott.

The Neuromantics – Episode 7(S2)
Fri, 27 Jan 2023 09:58:44 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 7 The Neuromantics revisit a favourite theme: the importance of social interaction when it comes to healthy minds. This time the starting point is a study on the mental health benefits of cultural engagement. Why is looking at art in a gallery more psychologically resonant than looking at the same pictures online? And how is it that laughing along with an audience at a live show can alleviate our anxieties? Communist-era poetry, British TV comedy and the solitary writer all come bubbling to the surface of the discussion. With Professor Sophie Scott and Will Eaves.

The Neuromantics – Episode 6 (S2)
Fri, 13 Jan 2023 10:33:13 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 6 Neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves - AKA the Neuromantics - suggest you might want to reconsider what you think you know about metaphors. Are they only useful for describing existing things or can they have an earlier, more constructive role in the creative process? A scientific study which asked architects to make use of metaphor at the design stage of their projects prompts questions about meaning and objectivity. This episode’s literary contribution is a thought-provoking essay by the musician, artist and writer Peter Blegvad called Imagine, Observe, Remember, but the conversation – as ever – takes unexpected turns, including the imagined accuracy of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs and hearing the Beatles for the first time.

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 5 The Neuromantics – writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – return to the theme of ageing brains, this time exploring research into why some people remain cognitively intact well into their 90s and beyond. Is it simply a case of keeping our brains busy by learning new languages and musical instruments, or is there something more lobal going on? Or even social? They discover advice on ageing – and just about everything else – in the essays of 16th Century philosopher Michel de Montaigne and reflect on the challenges and even opportunities of Tier 4 lockdown.

The Neuromantics – Episode 4 (S2)
Fri, 18 Nov 2022 09:51:12 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 4 The grooming episode. Neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves talk social bonds, hierarchies and connectedness. Focusing on a paper about baboon groups in Africa, they untangle the reasons why primates thrive as social animals and come a cropper when left alone. (That's where the grooming comes in.) What can these tight baboon hierarchies usefully tell us about our own social structures and interactions? Can group activities really bring people with opposing views together? Join the Neuromantics to discuss alpha males, rogue males, child escapees (courtesy of the writer M. John Harrison) and nail bars.

Fri, 04 Nov 2022 10:06:26 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 3 This atmospheric episode of The Neuromantics is brought to you from London Zoo. Neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves – once they’ve stopped to admire the grooming macaques – discuss the plasticity of the human brain, in particular when it comes to the ageing process. Given that we're all born with the brain cells we’ll need for the rest of our lives – 85bn of them to be precise – how do these cells change and grow as we move from childhood, through the challenges of adolescence, and into the altered landscape of old age? Basing their discussion on a scientific paper on the ageing brain, and moving on to Alice Munro's short story, The Bear Came Over the Mountain, they stop to consider risk-taking teenagers, dementia, the nature of romantic love and why going out into the world is the best exercise for your brain.

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 2 The Neuromantics - writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott - take their usual inspired and multi-disciplined approach and apply it to the theme of journeys. Helping us unravel issues of movement and travel is an enlightening scientific paper on bird navigation and two moving short stories. With plenty of ground to cover, they discover why pigeons bob their heads, why two foveas are better than one, and how the most fascinating journey we'll ever make is our own physical and mental development.

The Neuromantics – Episode 1(S2)
Fri, 07 Oct 2022 08:46:51 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 1 In this constantly shifting world, with its endless novel experiences and influences, one thing we can be sure of is that we're not the same person as we were at birth. Welcome to the first episode of the second season of the Neuromantics, in which writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott juggle ideas of human response to a changing environment. Some exquisite examples of 9th and 10th century Arabic poetry suggest that early writers were trying to pin down or preserve the world around them. Meanwhile, an academic paper on mental rotation explores the relationship between physical movement and mental perception. All this flux - how fitting for an episode recorded during the Covid lockdown.

The Neuromantics Season 1 Episode 10 The Neuromantics go out on a good laugh. For their season-ending episode, neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves explore the social function of laughter and discover that it’s a surprisingly more complex facet of human behaviour than you might think. There’s plenty of ground to cover: why do jokes seem funnier when other people are laughing at them? What’s behind the often shocking humour among colleagues in stressful jobs? And who else here remembers Ripping Yarns?

The Neuromantics – Episode 9 (S1)
Fri, 06 May 2022 09:49:24 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 1 Episode 9 The prof and the poet bring a beautifully meandering arc to their discussion of inner voices in this episode – starting with a poignant Old English poem about loneliness and rejection and moving on to a paper on auditory verbal hallucinations. Historically, being alone – or “friendlessness” – was a dangerous state to find yourself in. But did the interior world have its compensations? Can hearing voices actually be a thing of comfort as well as of concern? Neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves take apart the phenomenon of imaginary companions and explore why our brains might generate conversations that only we can hear.

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 09:53:57 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 1 Episode 8 The pleasure of making and listening to music. Is it universal? Or is it a very varied experience? The Neuromantics – author Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – explore our neurological responses to music and ask how these may have changed over the years and with technological developments. What role has ritual to play? How does music help us communicate? And why should taste and culture be such strong influences on our listening habits? As ever the professor and the writer share their scientific and literary offerings and veer off into some eye-opening asides (the surprisingly strict rules of polyamorous engagement and rubber clubbing gear among them.)

The Neuromantics - Episode 7 (S1)
Fri, 08 Apr 2022 09:25:32 +0000
The Neuromantics Season 1 Episode 7 In the 90s, the psychology community was tying itself in knots over whether forgotten traumas could or should be recovered through therapy. In this episode of the Neuromantics, writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott revisit the so-called memory wars, and discuss the controversial issue of repressed memory (now rebranded as dissociative amnesia). If the brain has gone to all the trouble of suppressing trauma, is it beneficial to retrieve these past experiences? Can they be used reliably in criminal trials? And what has all this got to do with axolotls?

Writer and poet Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott discuss how the human ear processes musical sound, focusing in particular on pitch and timbre. Visiting, as ever, a scientific paper and a literary offering, they revel in the soaring possibilities of the voice – that exceptional musical instrument which we’re all handed at birth.

The Neuromantics Season 1 Episode 5 The Neuromantics – writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – delve deeply into emotions in this episode, and explore how our feelings are recalled and expressed. Taking as their starting point a poignant poem about the memory of illness, they move onto a Finnish scientific paper on the bodily mapping of emotional responses. But they save their most trenchant discussion for our most commonly encountered non-verbal vocalisation - also known as laughter.

The Neuromantics Season 1 Episode 3 “Remember me when I am gone away.” The opening line of Christina Rossetti’s celebrated poem marks the starting point to a discussion of death in this episode of The Neuromantics. Exploring new research into death rites among primates, neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves ask whether our brains are really capable of grasping our own demise. As ever, they make some fascinating detours along the way, this time contemplating the relationship between smell and mortality, the phenomenon of the “voice from beyond” in English literature and the shocking extensiveness of meerkat infanticide.

And why do babies use their mouths as the first means of ‘seeing’ objects? In episode 3 of The Neuromantics, writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott explore what happens when our brains recreate external images, stopping off to discuss aphantasia, how primate brains compute colour and how the writer Saki constructed a child’s world view in his deliciously dark short story, The Lumber Room.
