Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called
Inner Cosmos on iHeart. I'm a neuroscientist and an author
at Stanford University, and I've spent my career exploring the
three pound universe in our heads. On my new podcast,
I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and
our experiences by tackling unusual questions so we can better

(00:25):
understand our lives and our realities, like does time really
run in slow motion when you're in a car accident?
Or can we create new senses for humans? What does
dreaming have to do with the rotation of the planet.
What do you do when someone breaks the law because
of a brain tumor? Why did Pythagoras think that numbers

(00:49):
had genders and personalities? Why do hunters wear orange? It's
not the reason you think when you die, will you
perceive the event that kills you? So join me weekly
to uncover how your brain steers your behavior, your perception,
and your reality. Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman
