What if the key to understanding the brain lies not only in its connections—but in its shape?

In this fascinating episode of the Science Society Podcast, I speak with theoretical neuroscientist Dr. Dimitris Pinotsis about the intersection of mathematics, physics, machine learning, and neuroscience.

We explore groundbreaking research suggesting that the geometry of the brain may play a more fundamental role in shaping brain activity than previously believed. Using human MRI data, researchers found that brain-wide activity may be better understood through resonant, wave-like patterns constrained by the brain’s physical form.

Could the shape of the brain help explain the shape of thought?
