Andthi: I want everybody who's watching or listening thiso to read your entire a canon catalogue, whatever we call it. It's course, and there's a reason why we have art and science and philosophy all at the same time,. trying to articulate what really is ineffable. Andthi: We just all can ever do a in a given moment is more or less agree we're both kind of talking about the same thing. But if you want o go backwards, because a live wiret is a really cool book. The music in this episode comes from clash by caravan palace. That is j n a t h y n. David eaglman's web site

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.
