Adam Gazzaley: How Neuroscience is Changing The World of Medicine


Listen Later

I've had Adam Gazzaley on the show before. He's an incredibly blended human who is a neuroscientist, speaker, entrepreneur, photographer, author, he's even an inventor. He's revolutionizing how we use technology for brain optimization. His work is paving the way forward when it comes to using technology to improve and retrain how we use our brains. This includes treating ADHD and other mental health and cognitive impairments.

Adam has a creative industrious side that works with his academic side. He's an MD PhD., and a full-time professor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). His research lab at the university is the Neuroscape center. This is where his groundbreaking work takes place. The center engages in technology creation and scientific research to better assess and optimize the brain function of healthy and impaired people. The work they do is at the intersection of technology and neuroscience. This is how it goes beyond the lab into people's lives.

Adam is an entrepreneur and moves with his pursuits. He's co-founder, board member, and science advisor for a company called Akili. In this episode, we’ll hear more about what the company is doing but think of prescribed video games as medicine! Akili is using technology to help people with cognitive impairment and to change the way medicine is designed and delivered.

In today’s episode we’re talking about:

11:50 - Thinking Beyond the Pill for Attention Deficit

24:26 - Changing the Paradigm of Medicine

28:12 - How Attention Impacts our Experience

32:17 - Ancient Brains in a High Tech World

55:13 - Doing The Work Between Our Ears

Enjoy!
