CNN's John Sutter sits down with author David Frum to talk about his new book, incognito. He says he likes the idea that other minds can also include artificial intelligence. The writer explains how we are made up of all these different neral networks running in parallel. And why you can cuss it your and conjole yourself in contract with yourself.

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.
