Soso: We are all these vessels of our own space time, we have these beliefs. In the part that i found so fast, in especially recent, in recent months, is that whatever your model tells you, you take that to be obviously true. And anyone who has a different model of things, they's just, you know, they're just wrong. They're idiots there. Soso: One of the really important things, from the point of view of nero science going on right now, is to really understand that and think about that. The constant testing of the world is probably also how we learn to think. I would like to hear your thoughts on that. Yes

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.
