If you ever get the chance to hang out with David Eagleman, first of all do it. The first thing you're going to notice is that he's extremely nice, fun, outgoing and very friendly. He's lit up in the brain and he's prolific, he's doing a zillion different things and he's still somehow nice enough to hang out and listen and chat.
Davis is a neuroscientist teaching at Stanford. He's got an amazing TED talk you have to watch. He's an author of – I don't know how many books – fiction and nonfiction. The newest one's called "Incognito: the secret lives of the brain," which you should read, if you want to learn about the brain.
He's also written novels, like the award-winning titled "Sum: forty Tales from the Afterlives." and even has a podcast where David is working his ass off, writing these deep lectures about humans, their brains and their physiology. It's called "Inner Cosmos." It's a work of art. You need to listen to that. On top of that, he's the founder of a company called Neosensory, which is doing sensory substitution.
We talk about that a bunch in this episode, an incredible ability that they've learned in research for human brains to rewire themselves. To take input from different senses and map them on to other ones.
Recorded in Ojai, California on Sunday, March 24th of 2024.
