i feel like you talk about, i can wear a device that gives me an extra it expands the range of my ability to use thits brain and my consciousness. I should be able to expand the range of that by learning the skill of meta cognitive,. You know, interactions with my own thoughts. And yet, that's the skill that can be learned. The brain will adapt to it and grow exactly right.

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.
