- David Eagleman is the author of "Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain", and a neuroscientist who specializes in brain plasticity, time perception, synesthesia, and the intersection of science with social policy. In the Talk he covers decades of the most important research into the functioning of the brain and also presents new discoveries from his own research: about synesthesia, dreaming, and wearable devices that are revolutionizing how we think about the five human senses.
David has authored more than ninety scientific publications. He has also written two international bestsellers, the novel Sum and the nonfiction book Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain. He is the writer and presenter of the companion PBS television series “The Brain”.
Moderated by David Levin.

David realized that the presenter guy remains silent although he suppose to ask questions properly. David realized he is failing. He took over the driver seat of the talk very smoothly. It's a great example of being leader. David is great!
Eagleman is quite an enthusiastic man when it comes to the brain. So am I! I need to read his books.
Thanks for stopping by David, hope to see you next year in the summertime
I feel my brain getting bigger just listening to this.
Dead ass lol
He is so fascinating to learn from. Makes me appreciate my brain.
Live wired and Incognito are amazing...
Amazing talk i cannot believe it only had 22k views.
Such an amazing resource to be able to learn from.
FANTASTIC!
Thank you for this!!!
Amazing talk!
Such a fantastic book
The universe ✨️ runs on a cycle not the don't say goodbye to the cycle of life think of it as a unicycle for global ✨️ unity ✨️ give ❤️ blessings 🙌 for all mankind ! !
interesting ideas, very insightful discussion, is the brain a predictive system, etc.?
fascinating..the book is excellent.
I wont mind listening to eagleman speaking for next few hours.
Current work primarily focus on providing sensory substitution.
Hope to see more insights on optimal neuroplasticity by design with the current sensory inputs.
David, could your vest be modified to react to spiritual entities??? There is a device that is called a RemPod that reacts to field interaction. Would love to hear your thoughts on the idea.
My mother explained to me when someone asks you to move don't ask why when and where just move because a car just misses you do as your parents ask you because it may be your last day ! !

Oooh I wish my brain weren’t so sensitive to volume. I love Eagleman but have to listen in v short amounts. 😂
Anybody read or learned about acquired fear/hesitance due to age. For example I am more sensitive to speed as I age. Not sure if I am just more focused on the sensation of speed or if it is something more.
How do I reach out to Dr. David Eagleman ? I have my own thesis that I would like to show him.
If you're a neuroscientist with all of the training and certification that implies, you should be able to contact him through your common professional groups. If you are not a neuroscientist, the first step would be to increase your study of neuroscience and do your own hunt in scholarly papers that have a bearing on your own thesis to see what they say about the areas you're thinking about. The brain is so complex that if you don't have that background of knowledge, your thesis is probably based on assumptions that are not consistent with what is already known and proven about the brain. Do the reading necessary to see if the assumptions you make about the brain are valid, before approaching a famous neuroscientist who has lots of demands on his time.
@@nycbearff Thank you Sir! I'm following Dr. David on Ig.
Thank you so much Mr. David Levin for asking my question, "why do all senses feel so different even when the brain receives only electrical signals".. But I m still confused about one thing:
Dr. David Eagleman's company invented these sensory substitutions like neosensory buzz and vest but if we dig a little deeper, we find that the sensation of the buzz comes from our skin (I.e. touch) ... So how does it feel like sound or vision???
Some disclaimers:
1. I have no expertise in this subject. I've only read his book (and did my best to bring out some interesting aspects of it to give people a taste of it).
2. I'm only speaking personally not on behalf of Google or anyone else.
Ok, based on my what I read in the book, here's my interpretation of his theory: Each sense "sight", "smell", "hearing". has a certain pattern that makes it seem like "sight", "smell", "hearing" etc to us. So these devices just take a measurement of something like vision and putting that pattern on our skin. Now that pattern corresponds to "sight" so our brain categorizes it as sight.
You may ask what are these patterns and how are they different. His book didn't get into that. But I guess you could think of it like rock music vs jazz music. They are both music but they have different patterns so we call one of them rock and one of them jazz.
And since I'm commenting here, I'll also put in a plug for this Talks event: ruclips.net/video/i_AaBK78X-Y/видео.html Probably my last one for a bit so I can focus on my job :) but it was my pleasure to host both of these fascinating authors.
@@davelevin2008 yeah! That may be right! Thank you for the time you put in writing these. Really enjoyed this talk!🤩😁Btw, I would love to hear Dr. Eagleman's thoughts on this.😃
Quote: The day that you die, you are exactly you. 2:18 No, some people die of Alzheimer's and have lost most or all of who they are. I guess the question of "Who you are?" depends on whether you believe in an eternal soul.
I LOVE MATHS
Google talks vs Ted talks? Which one do u prefer?
Yòu know....you know...uh..you know..?!
One more reason not tu go aut from home.vr right?

everything in time his 👋 time not in your time . where there a will Jesus will find 🙏 a way
Very good discussion, thanks for arranging, David Eagleman is a very good neuroscientist and his research can help a lot of people with disabilities, but one thing is David Eagleman should not have discussions with religious leaders like Sadhguru who spread superstition and myths
When the guest has much better audio and video quality than the host. Can't Google afford better equipment? Great content otherwise.
Not the best introduction.
I liked it.
Great!! Now the whole market for Smarties` collapsed! We can't just download intelligence? How smart are you!?
To the should be the justice ⚖️ 🙏 the police try laughing for 1 hour 😆 lol is there 😄 a helicopter in the sky must be a hell of a cop to her the triangle try another angle 🤣
incognito..hmm . what in the world is this😅😂😊
The brain is not completly flexible. That is just wrong to say. Nothing really new... Not even the metaphors (a century ago the brain was compare to the new telephone and telegraphs networks). Just good.
Sounds like he's trying too hard to sell something. Distracting.
