Hi folks, I think Henry might get the credit for raising Anil Seth’s awareness of PCT… see below.
I tweeted the link and Anil ‘liked’ it. The podcast is at 30,000+ views and the (brief!) section is 1h04m for a couple of minutes - so Anil sees the worth but he mentioned PCT in the same breath as Gibson so I don’t think he’s quite recognised it’s distinctiveness and scope yet!

Thanks for this - sorry I haven’t been able to respond in detail so far - been overwhelmed by other stuff so far but have been following the dialog with interest and will read this paper for sure.
Dear Anil and Andy,
The attached paper on a PCT explanation of the basal ganglia by the neuroscientist at Duke University, Henry Yin, might help in our discussions. It includes both philosophical and clinical considerations.
All the best,
Warren

Warren, BTW where could I find the Henry’s article you sent to Seth, or is the same as the attached?

RM: Whether or not this is the paper by Henry that Warren sent to Seth, thanks for attaching it, because it reminded me of what a great paper this is. It’s OK if you don’t like me as long as you pay attention to Henry. He is the real deal.Â
BestÂ
