David Eagleman, a Stanford neuroscientist and CEO of Neosensory, shares fascinating insights into the brain's plasticity and sensory substitution. He discusses how our wrists can be trained to interpret sound, enhancing experiences for the deaf. The conversation delves into the purpose of dreams, suggesting they help protect our visual systems. Eagleman also tackles the intriguing concept of Possibilianism and its role in understanding existence, intertwining philosophy with technology in a thought-provoking way.

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, lecturer and podcast host Matt Abrahams sits down with David Eagleman, a neuroscientist and the host of the PBS series The Brain, to discuss why our brains are wired for storytelling and how new senses might impact our connection and communication with others.“I’ve always been really interested in this idea of how we can pass information to the brain via unusual channels,” Eagleman says. “We’ve got our eyes or ears or fingertips and our nose, we’re very used to this and we sort of think these are fundamental, but of course, this is just what we’ve inherited from a long road of evolution … It turns out you can push information in the brain in other ways.”Connect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn,  Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn

Neuroscientist Dr. David Eagleman discusses the importance of constantly challenging the brain, the significance of living in the present moment, and the role of novelty in brain performance. The speakers also explore using others as reference points for personal growth, overcoming temptations and pitfalls, and the dynamics of in-groups and out-groups. They touch on rationalization, effective learning conditions, and express appreciation for the listeners.

El famoso neurocientífico y divulgador David Eagleman explora en su libro 'El Cerebro' cómo nuestra percepción del mundo es filtrada por nuestro cerebro. Discute la importancia de la empatía en las relaciones humanas y las posibilidades futuras de integración entre el cerebro y la tecnología, cuestionando la inmortalidad en un soporte digital. También reflexiona sobre las implicaciones de clonar el cerebro humano en la identidad y la conciencia.

Neuroscientist David Eagleman explores slow-motion perception, synesthesia, adding new senses, and blind people's musical abilities. They discuss time perception, the unreliability of eyewitness testimony, neural plasticity, the unique abilities of the human brain, and the intersection of neuroscience and the legal system.

Imagine you were locked in a sealed room, with no way to access the outside world but a few screens showing a view of what’s outside. Seems scary and limited, but that’s essentially the situation that our brains find themselves in — locked in our skulls, with only the limited information from a few unreliable sensory modalities to tell them what’s going on inside. Neuroscientist David Eagleman has long been interested in how the brain processes that sensory input, and also how we might train it to learn completely new ways of accessing the outside world, with important ramifications for virtual reality and novel brain/computer interface techniques.Support Mindscape on Patreon.David Eagleman received his Ph.D. in neuroscience from the Baylor College of Medicine. He is currently the CEO of Neosensory, a company that builds sensory-augmentation devices, as well as an adjunct professor at Stanford. His research has involved time perception, synesthesia, and sensory substitution. He is the founder and director of the Center for Science and Law. He is a bestselling author of both fiction and nonfiction. He was the writer and host of the TV show The Brain with David Eagleman, and writer of the Netflix documentary The Creative Brain.

Dr. David Eagleman, a renowned neuroscientist from Stanford University, shares insights into the innovative 'Novelty Rule,' which suggests that new experiences can transform our perception of time and enhance life satisfaction. The discussion highlights practical ways to incorporate novelty into daily routines, like using your non-dominant hand for brushing teeth or planning monthly adventures. The importance of anticipation in boosting happiness and maintaining connections with others is also emphasized, making this a fascinating exploration of neuroscience in everyday life.

David Eagleman (@davideagleman) is a Stanford neuroscientist, host of Emmy-nominated PBS/BBC series The Brain, and author of many leather-bound books, including Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain, The Brain: The Story of You, and Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain. [Note: This is a previously broadcast episode from the vault that we felt deserved a fresh pass through your earholes!] What We Discuss with David Eagleman: Why our conscious brain should be grateful for its separation from the subconscious brain. What is sensory substitution, and how might it allow the blind to “see,” the deaf to “hear,” and create completely new, superhuman senses altogether? Your umwelt is not my umwelt: a shared environment is several realities, depending on how it’s being sensed. Alien hands, intellectual flexibility, zombie routines, and smartphone symbiosis. How might technology augment our brains in the not-too-distant future? And much more...
