Description

David Eagleman (@davideagleman) is a neuroscientist at Stanford, CSO of sensory substitution technology company NeoSensory, host of Emmy-nominated PBS/BBC series The Brain, and author of Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain.
What We Discuss with David Eagleman:

Like organisms in a forest, the multicellular components of your brain are as much in competition with one another as they are in cooperation.
How your sensory landscape adapts to utilize what's useful and discard what's not as you learn new skills.
Why David believes the nature vs. nurture debate is dead (and that Darwin might owe Lamarck a bit of an apology).
How neglect can irreparably shape the brain of a child, and what this can teach us about the way different generations learn about, process, and behave in the world.
How senses like sight and hearing can be translated by technology for people without a native ability to process them, and why we'll be able to invent entirely new senses with the help of technology.
And much more...
