2 小时 11 分钟Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast,
where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
My guest today is Dr. Christoph Koch.
Dr. Christoph Koch is a neuroscientist, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science,
and a chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation.
He is considered one of the great pioneers and luminaries of modern neuroscience.
Christoph's research has spanned how we perceive the world around us,
how different states of mind arise and shape our experience of life,
and most notably, consciousness.
I joined the field of neuroscience way back in the 1990s.
And even way back then,
Kristoff's name and his work was considered seminal for our understanding of brain and human experience.
And over the subsequent 30 years, he has continued to do incredible groundbreaking work.
Today, we discuss consciousness,
what it is literally at the level of quantifiable brain mechanisms and how understanding consciousness at that level can help you experience life more richly and allow you to place deeper meaning on everything from a typical morning to green and loss to your greatest and most awe-inspiring moments.
Christoph also explains how our individual experiences and memories place us each into a unique what he calls perception box,
which is what shapes your outlook on life and in many cases your quality of life,
including your mental and physical health.
And he explains how you can change your perception box through what we call neuroplasticity,
