In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss what Bayesian Thinking is, and what it means for your brain.
What happens to your brain when you die? Perhaps the more important question is why might your brain cause death? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss how your brain deteriorates over time eventually causing death, and how your brain might process the moment of your death.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss Charles Bonnet syndrome - a rare disorder where people suffer extreme hallucinations related to top-down control over a damaged visual system.
In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we take a high-level (pun intended) look at how your brain biases basic functions like attention and perception based on previous experience, otherwise known as top-down processing.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the biological factors that explain why we sleep.
We frequently tell you that getting better sleep improves your brain health - but how can you get better sleep? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss 21 tips informed by neuroscience that you can use to improve your sleep.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the neuroscience behind Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - a disorder that affects children whose mothers consumed alcohol during pregnancy.
Previously on the podcast, we've discussed how a strong diet can improve brain health. But what happens to our brain when our diet is bad, or when we skip eating altogether? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss foods that are bad for your brain and why they're bad.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss how our brain shapes behaviour when we're talking to strangers compared to people we know.
Remember when the sun was blue? Or what about that time bugs took over the world? Sometimes, our brain creates memories out of events that never happened which can cause drastic changes in behaviour. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind how our brain creates false memories and how that process compares to making real memories.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss Tinnitus - where hearing is impaired and replaced by noises with no external source.
Do we really only learn from our mistakes? Are lectures the best method of education? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss common myths about how we learn and what neuroscience research tells us about the truth.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss why your brain can be more active when its cold versus when its hot.
Do you ever feel like so much is going on that you just can't handle anymore? In this week's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we finish our discussion on brain overload by discussing cognitive overload. Quick LinksGet Embed PlayerShare on SocialDownload Audio File
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the Pineal Gland - a gland in your brain that is important for regulating sleep.
Do you ever feel like so much is going on that you just can't handle anymore? In this week's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we begin our discussion on brain overload by discussing sensory overload.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the thyroid gland - an important body part for regulating hormones and metabolism.
Some scientists spend years trying to figure out what is going through someone's mind when they are doing something they know is wrong. What happens when these scientists test that immorality? In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss Unethical Neuroscience through the example of the Milgram experiments.
In today's Neuroscience Bite, we discuss the Pituitary Gland - the body part responsible for releasing hormones throughout your body.
1Sometimes we talk about "going with your gut" when making decisions that feel right. As it turns out, our intestines are actually highly linked to our brain in more ways than just an expression. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the Gut-Brain Axis - a system linking our digestive system to our nervous system.
