That Neuroscience Guy

In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss how our brain recreates memories when we need them. 

Do we really "rewire" our brains? Does studying animals help us understand the human brain? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss more common neuroscience myths. 

In today's Neurosciene Bite, we discuss what might have made Albert Einstein's brain different from the average person. 

Do we really only use 10% of your brain? Are creative people more 'right-brained' than everyone else? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we parse through common neuroscience myths and discuss how mythical they might be.

Vision is more than just your eyes - you need your brain to intake visual information and process it. However, optometric care has largely focused on treating just your eyes. But what if we started trying to change your brain instead of your eyes?  In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we invite Dr. Cameron McCrodan to discuss how targeting visual processing and control in the brain can markedly improve treatments for patients with concussions, migraines, balance issues, and more. 

In today's Neuroscience Bite, we review "Don't Be Such a Scientist" by Randy Olson and discuss some problems with modern science. 

Whether pushing through people at a shopping mall or standing shoulder to shoulder at a concert, being in crowds is a common experience. For some of us, that experience is overwhelmingly negative. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy we discuss the neuroscience behind our behaviour in crowds, and how our brain changes when surrounded by others. 

Today's Neuroscience Bite explores a book that examines impulsive decision making and challenges the idea that analytical thinking is always better. The speaker recommends 'Blink' by Malcolm Gladwell, which emphasizes the value of gut-hunch decisions.

Exploring the neuroscience behind our fashion sense, discussing the emotional impact of conforming or not conforming to fashion trends, exploring non-conformity and its relationship to conformity, the influence of fashion trends on values, and the science behind the desire to conform to fashion trends.
