Can dreams be therapeutic?!?! We explore how one specific type of dreaming -- anesthesia dreaming -- is being explored for therapeutic benefit with @PilleriinSikka, a Stanford neuroscientist. Fascinating conversation! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Most VR avatars fall into the “uncanny valley.” They're trying to look real, but they’re clearly not – so they look weird. My co-founder Dave just published a paper where he describes our approach. Our avatars are energy beings, reducing reliance on priors frontiersin.org/articles/10.… – at El Cerrito, CA

A great conversation with Robin Carhart-Harrison this episode! We spoke with @RCarhartHarris for about 2 hours, covering a wide range of topics related to his research on psychedelics. It's a thorough look into the state of the art of psyd science podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… – at Richmond, CA

Psychedelics potentially have the effect smoothing out old ruts (or "canals") in our ways of thinking and responding to the environment, opening possibilities for real change. @RCarhartHarris has a theoretical framework for how this happens in the brain: open.spotify.com/episode/0kA… – at Richmond, CA

For my money, @RCarhartHarris is simply the world's leading scholar on the science of psychedelics. This conversation digs deep into his background as a thinker and explores the implications of his most recent theoretical work: cognation.fireside.fm/51 – at Richmond, CA

Ok, if you're going to listen to any podcast interview I've ever done, listen to this one. It's the best. Gratitude to the Cognation guys for giving me this opportunity to share so much.

Brain-computer interfaces are improving, but not as rapidly as you might expect. The latest work on producing speech from brain recordings points up the promise and challenge of the work.

The @PsychedelicSci conf by @MAPS was the largest psychedelics conference ever! We were there reporting on the latest happenings. Our interviews captured some of the interesting trends and (potential) tensions opening up in the space. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
We spoke with participants and sponsors at the Psychedelic Sciences '23 conference by @MAPS. An interesting cross section of interviewees, including beckleywaves.com, the East Institute, @psybalazs, and @ManojDoss. Varying & important perspectives.

Great pod with @MGirnNeuro and @roflnelson discussing the latest research in the domain of psychedelic neuroscience.
I'm really excited about our latest Cognation podcast with guest Manesh Girn. @MGirnNeuro breaks down recent findings in the neuroscience of psychedelics. His latest model does a great job of integrating several cutting-edge approaches in an intuitive way podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

“Numadelics: A Spirit-Manifesting Design Paradigm for Virtual Reality”
I have learned so much about what I didn't know I don't know from this talk by @drDavidGlowacki
thanks @RCarhartHarris for recommending😃 – at San Francisco, CA

This episode, we talk with Professor Gail Sahar about her new book, entitled "Blame and Political Attitudes: The Psychology of America's Culture War", where she applies social psychology to understand where and why we assign blame in the political sphere. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… – at El Cerrito, CA

On this CogNation pod, we're joined by Dr. Joshua Miele, a blind advocate, scientist, and inventor. Amongst his many initiatives is the Blind Arduino Project, where participants learn how to navigate a world of maker electronics, including soldering: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

We have the definitive series on this on @NationCog -- the CogNation podcast. As neuroscientists, we have a distinct take. Also, a really pretty wild interview with Dr. Beatrice Golomb. cognation.fireside.fm/4b cognation.fireside.fm/4a cognation.fireside.fm/30

Increasingly, thinking happens outside the brain. @anniemurphypaul joins @NationCog to discuss how technology, and other stuff outside our skulls affects our cognition and emotion. Her latest book is called The Extended Mind. It's a great conversation: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… 1/4
Drop your tinfoil hats, CogNation is on the case!!!
Hold onto your tinfoil hats! Are these mysterious brain injuries caused by focused, pulsed microwave radiation fired by Russians??? Actually, maybe! We cover this thoroughly on CogNation 1/ nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/po…

We started investigating this issue back in 2019. It's related to the Frey Effect -- a scientifically proven effect where pulsed microwave radiation beamed at the brain can cause people to hear sounds: cognation.fireside.fm/4a

On episode 30 of CogNation, we discuss the updates on the original story of putative microwave attacks on the Cuban embassy: cognation.fireside.fm/30
