Neuroscientist and author Sharon Dirckx joins Luke Martin on The Interview to explore one of the biggest questions of our time: are we just our brains or something more?
From cutting-edge brain imaging to near-death experiences, Sharon unpacks why consciousness remains one of science’s deepest mysteries. As materialism faces new challenges from thinkers like Iain McGilchrist and Philip Goff, could the idea of the soul be making a comeback?
They also tackle:
- What near-death experiences really show
- Whether AI could ever become truly conscious
- Why suffering still challenges belief in God
- And whether consciousness points beyond the physical world
If you’ve ever wondered whether you are more than matter—or whether science itself is opening the door to something deeper—this conversation is for you.
