Burnett’s book is a guide to the neuroscience behind the things that our amazing brains do poorly. deanburnettIn the interview we discuss motion sickness, the pain of breakups, why criticisms are more powerful than compliments, the imposter syndrome, anti-intellectualism, irrational fears, and more. Burnett also explains how the brain is kinda sorta like a computer, but a really bad one that messes with your files, rewrites your documents, and edits your photos when you aren’t around. Dean Burnett is a neuroscientist who lectures at Cardiff University and writes about brain stuff over at his blog, Brain Flapping hosted by The Guardian. https://soundcloud.com/youarenotsosmart/083-idiot-brain-dean-burnett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
