Interesting, Always Interesting
This podcast, from Australia, is a look at the latest research in neuroscience. Typically the show has experts discussing a topic and people who talk about how the topic has affected them. You'll find out schizophrenics won't look you in the eye and instead of getting grumpier as we get older we actually get happier.
best of the best
All in the Mind makes neuroscience real by exploring cutting edge discoveries in a remarkably clear, exciting and compelling way. The show illustrates with real stories how neuroscience effects how we live and the choices we make. Then it goes beyond the edge to explore how our culture is influencing neuroscience. Enjoyable, stimulating and fun.
Greatest podcast ever!!!!!
Love her accent, her wit, incredible intelligence and spot on follow up questions. Just wish I can hear her EVERY DAY!!! I'm a college student studying anthropology and I'm fascinated with the brain ever since I heard about this incredible import. Now, THIS is worth getting an ipod over.
