单集简介 ...

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, lecturer and podcast host Matt Abrahams sits down with David Eagleman, a neuroscientist and the host of the PBS series The Brain, to discuss why our brains are wired for storytelling and how new senses might impact our connection and communication with others. “I’ve always been really interested in this idea of how we can pass information to the brain via unusual channels," Eagleman says. "We’ve got our eyes or ears or fingertips and our nose, we’re very used to this and we sort of think these are fundamental, but of course, this is just what we’ve inherited from a long road of evolution... It turns out you can push information in the brain in other ways.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • Hi Matt here.

  • If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab, hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.

  • Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.

  • Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.

  • This season, she's tackling topics that affect her own life, like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.

  • If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab.

  • Right here in your podcast player.

  • The professor in the very first communication class I ever took started by saying, communication is very simple.

  • You just need to get what's in your brain into the brain of someone else.

  • And Wally was right.

  • The brains are definitely involved.

  • There is nothing simple about it.

  • Today we'll hear from a world renowned neuroscientist who will provide insights into how our brains help us communicate with each other.

  • Hello, I'm Matt Abrahams, and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

  • Welcome to think fast, talk Smart, the podcast.

  • I am so thrilled to chat with David Eagleman.

  • David is a neuroscientist and an adjunct professor in psychiatry at Stanford.

  • His research includes sensory substitution, time perception, vision, and synesthesia.

  • He is the author of eight books, including his latest, Live Wired.

  • David wrote and hosted the Brain, an Emmy nominated television series on both PBS and BBC.
