Listen Later

David Eagleman (@davideagleman) is a neuroscientist at Stanford, host of Emmy-nominated PBS/BBC series The Brain, author and co-author of several books including The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World, and CSO of NeoSensory, a company that specializes in sensory substitution technology.

What We Discuss with David Eagleman:
  • The science that encourages lifelong learning as a way to fend off the effects of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
  • How the human brain processes senses beyond sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch -- and how we might upgrade our senses in the not-too-distant future.
  • What flipping a coin can tell us about the subconscious brain.
  • How our memories and self-identities are built from the brain's interpretation of reality -- which is quite different from reality itself.
  • Will we ever be able to download skills directly into our brains?
  • And much more...
