Mark Solms & John Dall'Aglio: Prospects for a Lacanian Neuropsychoanalysis

Prof Mark Solms is a neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst known for pioneering the field of neuropsychoanalysis. He discovered that dreaming depends on forebrain mechanisms rather than REM sleep and has worked extensively on the neural basis of consciousness. Prof Solms is Chair of Neuropsychology at the University of Cape Town, co-founder of the journal Neuropsychoanalysis, and author of several influential books, including The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness (2021). In collaboration with Karl Friston, he has helped link neuropsychoanalytic ideas to the free energy principle, developing theoretical models that explain affect, motivation, and consciousness in terms of predictive processing and the brain's drive to minimise uncertainty.

He is the author of A Lacanian Neuropsychoanalysis: Consciousness Enjoying Uncertainty and has published on topics such as the free energy principle, jouissance, transcendental materialism, and the philosophic-theoretical foundations of neuropsychoanalysis.
