Our Consultant Neurologist and Sleep Physician, Dr Angus Nisbet talks with The London Podcast's Adrian Lacey in this two-part discussion on consciousness.

In part 1, Dr Nisbet discusses consciousness, what are some of the difficulties with it and what’s going on in the brain to make it happen?

In part 2, he branches out further in the ideas in part 1 and whether your spine can 'think'.

Dr NIsbet is currently writing on the themes explored here, with the working title The Treble Soul: the Three Mysteries of Human Consciousness.

Both parts can be listened to by following the links below:

Part 1 - "How do we know we know?"

Part 2 - "Can your spine think? And other problems".
