In this episode, we explore the strange and fascinating minds of cephalopods, animals so different from us that they force us to rethink what it means to be intelligent. With a decentralised nervous system and thousands of neurons distributed throughout their arms, is an octopus really one mind, or something else entirely?
We dive into their astonishing problem-solving abilities, famous escape acts, and the growing evidence that cephalopods experience the world in ways we are only beginning to understand. Along the way, we tackle some big questions: How do you measure intelligence in a creature that evolved along a completely different path from humans? And could octopuses actually dream?
