Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm head of programming, Connor Boyle.
For this episode, we're exploring memory with neuroscientist and author Charam Ranganath.
His decades of research into how our minds really work informs his new book, why we remember.
Joining Charan to discuss it is Alex Wilkins.
Alex is a reporter for the New Scientist.
Let's hear more from Alex now.
Our guest today is Charan Ranganath, professor of psychology and neuroscience and director of the dynamic memory lab at the University of California at Davis.
For over 25 years, he has studied the mechanisms in the brain that allow us to remember past events using brain imaging techniques, computational modeling, and studies of patients with memory disorders.
His new book, which we'll be discussing the themes of today, is why we remember the science of memory and how it shapes us.
Charan, really good to have you here, and I'm very excited to speak about your work.
