Why did Chris not become a musician?

How Chris became a comic book hero

Collaborating with economists (as a neuroscientist or psychologist)

A triple history of Chris's career, neuroimaging, and the FIL at UCL

Career advice: explorers and exploiters in science, and skills to learn

Was all the effort worth it?

Sci-fi and detective story recommendations

Chris Frith is an Emeritus Professor of Neuropsychology at University College London. His research has spanned several topics, including social cognition, schizophrenia, volition, and consciousness. We talk about Two Heads (a book co-written with his wife and son), his career, and the history of the FIL. BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith. In 2022, episodes will appear irregularly, roughly twice per month. You can find the podcast on all podcasting platforms (e.g., Spotify, Apple/Google Podcasts, etc.).  Timestamps 00:04: Why did Chris not become a musician? 06:14: How Chris became a comic book hero 14:31: Collaborating with economists (as a neuroscientist or psychologist) 22:34: A triple history of Chris's career, neuroimaging, and the FIL at UCL 47:14: Career advice: explorers and exploiters in science, and skills to learn 57:00: Was all the effort worth it? 1:00:10: Sci-fi and detective story recommendations Podcast links<ul><li>Website: <a href="https://geni.us/bjks-pod">https://geni.us/bjks-pod</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://geni.us/bjks-pod-twt">https://geni.us/bjks-pod-twt</a></li></ul>Chris's links<ul><li>Website: <a href="https://geni.us/frith-web">https://geni.us/frith-web</a></li><li>Google Scholar: <a href="https://geni.us/frith-scholar">https://geni.us/frith-scholar</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://geni.us/frith-twt">https://geni.us/frith-twt</a></li></ul>Ben's links<ul><li>Website: <a href="https://geni.us/bjks-web">https://geni.us/bjks-web</a></li><li>Google Scholar: <a href="https://geni.us/bjks-scholar">https://geni.us/bjks-scholar</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://geni.us/bjks-twt">https://geni.us/bjks-twt</a></li></ul> References Blakemore ...
