Description
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.

What We Discuss with David Eagleman:

Alien hands, intellectual flexibility, zombie routines, and smartphone symbiosis.
How might technology augment our brains in the not-too-distant future?
And much more...
