This week's podcast is sponsored by Cisco. A cyber attack can grind your business to a halt. We know that our brain is not for thinking, says Lisa Feldman Barrett. It's essentially a CFO of our bodily budget making sure we survive and pass our genes to the next generation. But scientists still think memories are stored and retrieved like file folders or like files.

If you managed to stay awake during Bio 101, then you probably think you have a basic understanding of how your brain works. Not so, says neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett. In this cerebral yet highly entertaining conversation with Next Big Idea Club curator Daniel Pink, Lisa says our brains are made for budgeting, not thinking. She debunks the myth of the lizard brain. And she makes the far-out claim that everything you see and hear, including this podcast, is a hallucination.
