He has made over 30 trips to the Arctic and Subarctic during his adventuring career and was a fellow of the prestigious Explorers Club. In his travels he discovered a previously unknown lake in Borneo, and had a mountain named after him outside Tasiilaq in eastern Greenland. Today we talk about shamanism in the arctic, the use of the psychoactive amanita musica or fly agaric mushroom in those traditions and the connection to the modern Santa Claus myth.

We live in a world filled with suffering, where attempts to help have been split into largely separate scientific and spiritual communities. As a spiritually engaged neuroscientist I hope to communicate how these seemingly separate world views can be reconciled. I produce weekly videos on topics at the intersection of neuroscience and wellbeing, including consciousness, meditation and psychedelic science.

Dr. James Cooke:
Neuroscientist, writer & speaker, focusing on perception, meditation, psychedelics, mental health and wellbeing.
PhD in Neuroscience, Oxford University
MSc in Neuroscience, Oxford University
MA in Experimental Psychology, Oxford University
