638: Brain Talk with Dr. Jesse Rissman
Manage episode 440530124 series 78091
Neuroscience might be the final frontier when it comes to the human body. There is still so much to be discovered and understood about memory, attention, and how we learn. My guest on this week’s podcast runs a research lab at UCLA that uses brain imaging and electrical stimulation to see if science can move the needle and unlock our potential.
Listen and learn:
- What memory is and why it’s impossible to isolate in the brain
- Why some primates have better short-term recall than humans
- How theta wave stimulation might improve memory
- The challenges with testing and tracking attention
