Professor James Fallon of UC Irvine is a Neuroscientist who studies brain scans. He has made a specialty out of studying the brains of psycopaths and serial killers and has been all over television and had a TED talk. Many people know him for discovering that his own brain scan resembled a psychopath. We have a wide ranging conversation from language centers of the brain to empathy to his family history to George Carlin and more.
