Welcome to the you are not so smart podcast, episode two. This week's guest is famed neuro scientist and unchmanure and york times best selling author, david eaglman. He just released a new book called live wire, which is all about brain plasticity. It explores how with technology that he has helped develop, we can expand our senses, expand our consciousness,. exexpand the very range of what the mind can conceive, imagine and do.
In this episode we sit down with neuroscientist David Eagleman to learn how brains turn noise into signal, chaos into order, electrical spikes into meaning, and how new technology can expand subjective reality in ways never before possible.
In his new book, Livewired, Eagleman explores how brains come into the world "half baked" so they can create reality itself out of the inputs and experiences available. And now, thanks to that plug-and-play plasticity, with the latest tools, not only can we return senses to people who've lost them, but we can add to any brain senses we can't imagine.
