In this episode of Neural Compass, David Eagleman—Stanford neuroscientist, bestselling author of Livewired, and one of today’s leading communicators of brain science—joins Jimini’s Mark Jacobstein to explore the astonishing adaptability of the human brain and its implications for therapy, technology, and society. They cover: - Why Eagleman calls the brain livewired—not “plastic”—and how it constantly reshapes itself - How neuroplasticity is central to everything from therapy to psychedelics to brain stimulation - The promise of sensory substitution—from helping deaf individuals “hear” through vibrations to new frontiers in brain–computer interfaces - The legal and ethical questions raised when brain science meets crime, culpability, and justice - The future of human–AI interaction—from companion robots to algorithms that could reduce polarization instead of fueling it Learn more:
