Lionel Nakache, discreetly

He is a researcher, physician and one of our best French neuroscientists. For this Friday, a great portrait: Lionel Nakache is our guest.

Known for his discoveries about the mechanics of consciousness, his work has disrupted our concept of subjectivity. He showed that the brain is a machine that represents the world, a machine that creates meaning and story. Our mind constantly spends time reconstructing motion, but not only that. After questioning this inner cinema, Lionel Nakache Elaborates a unique theory of perception.
