Description
Erik Vance (@erikvance) is an award-winning science journalist and author of Suggestible You: The Curious Science of Your Brain's Ability to Deceive, Transform, and Heal.
What We Discuss with Erik Vance:
How the human tendency for patternicity can be used to inoculate ourselves against pain, but also make us believe we've been abducted by space aliens.
The placebo effect vs. the nocebo effect.
The power of false memories and the "Satanic Panic" phenomenon of the 1980s.
How our brains twist reality to match expectations, and how it fits into our evolutionary model for survival.
Why Erik paid a Mexico City witch doctor to curse him -- for science!
And much more...
