Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why does music make us dance?
Q: Why do we start bopping when we hear music?
Because our brains are wired for rhythm entrainment; when the beat is heard, the brain predicts and translates it into movement almost automatically, which makes dancing feel almost involuntary.
Do plants fart?
Q: What do you think it would sound like if plants farted?
The hosts imagine tiny, high-pitched sounds, joking about a 'peep, peep, peep' noise and confirming it would likely be quiet and faint.
Do plants fart?
Q: And what surprised you the most about what we've learned so far?
Zsa Zsa expresses surprise at the abundance of invisible plant structures like tiny butt holes (pores) and how microbes inside plants contribute to gas production.
Do plants fart?
Q: So Zsa Zsa, how did you come up with this plant farting question?
Zsa Zsa explains that the question was sparked while listening to another Brains On episode about plants, showing how curiosity builds on previous topics.
How do walkie talkies work?
Q: Do you copy?
It means, can you hear me clearly and understand what I said as you start a conversation.
