We talk with Dr. Steven Lehar about his gestalt theory of perception, the link between matter and consciousness, and why the entire world is inside your head. Warning: do not listen to this unless you're prepared to have you mind blown. Ok...you've been warned. Enjoy!
Dr. Lehar is a PhD Graduate (1994) in Cognitive and Neural Systems. A former Research Fellow in Ophthalmology at Harvard University. He completed his post-doc at Schepens Eye Research Institute - and was a former Professor of Cognitive Psychology at Salem State College.
Dr. Lehar is an independent researcher with a novel theory of mind and brain, inspired by the observed properties of perception. These observations are confirmed by some peculiar anomalies in phenomenal perspective. The implications of these observations are that the foundational assumptions of neuroscience are fundamentally in error, and that an alternative paradigm of neurocomputation will have to be formulated to account for the properties of consciousness and perception.
