Livewired The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain

David Eagleman

An expert in neuroplasticity, David Eagleman explains how the brain appears to be less hardwired than previously thought, and constantly alters its interconnections to maximize its receptivity. While outlining his theory of ‘infotropism†with scientific examples and everyday anecdotes, he relates...

So I think this is a great place to get an understanding of plasticity and live wiring. You called your book Live Wired and you could have called it brain plasticity, but you called it live wired for a reason.

I want to talk about your book LiveWired, right? Much of the world and how we view it is very much like hardware and software.

I mentioned this before... I'm really interested in building this. I mentioned this before. I just feel like the way we think about building all our technology now and the way that everything is set up... LiveWired because I'm really interested in building this.

The Latest is entitled Live Wired. It's about how our brain wires and rewires itself.

And I don't think this part is widely appreciated when we talk about this issue of how the brain changes.

one of the things that I really emphasize in the book is that we have no idea how to build machinery like that.

It's generally allocated the same in everyone but it can because of genetic tweaks and not being different.

I think the key thing is to think about compared to what are we worried about their brains getting worse because I mean look if you really think about what we did during our childhood we wasted an enormous amount of time doing really stupid stuff and it's not like playing stick ball or walking around or laying on your back and looking at the cloud is it's not like that it's somehow so magically wonderful for the brain.
