49:28Now PlayingWhy does the world’s best archer not have any arms? Can we control a robot with our thoughts, just as we do our fingers and toes? What does drug withdrawal have in common with a broken heart? What is memory… and why is the enemy of memory not time, but other memories? How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue, or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? The answers to these questions are right behind our eyes. Join neuroscientist and internationally best-selling author Dr. David Eagleman as he explores the magic of our brains -- and all they can do.
Dr. Eagleman will discuss "LIVEWIRED: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain" and present new discoveries from his own laboratory, from synesthesia to dreaming to wearable neurotech devices that revolutionize how we think about the senses. He'll discuss biohackers, humans using echolocation, and the present and future of AI.
