  • Great translation of brain science to practical ideas

    I particularly enjoyed the episode on Moral Injury - as a healthcare leader I sometimes struggle to explain this concept to others outside of healthcare.

    Thank you for being a great translator of brain and behavior science!

  • Do not listen with headphones!

    Love the content, but there are serious volume issues. Sometimes the segment changes to an ad that is very loud, sometimes too quiet. Sometimes different hosts in the same conversation are played back at different volumes, so I can’t even fix it by changing my device’s volume.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reading vs. Listening (Rebroadcast)
Q: What is the difference between comprehension when listening versus reading?
Listening invokes another person's voice and social cues, shaping memory and prediction differently than reading, which relies on an internal voice and personal imagination, resulting in distinct cognitive and emotional experiences.
Why We Like People Who Hate Everyone
Q: Why do we like people who hate everyone?
There is a tendency to align with those who seem to like us, possibly to avoid being hated ourselves, creating a sense of being part of an exclusive group.
Giving Up
Q: What are the criteria for success and how do we determine when to stop?
We typically set criteria for success, but not for failure, which can lead to continuing unproductive efforts.
Time: Audience Q&A
Q: What's the difference between the time that we've been talking about and time in music?
Time in music is experienced rhythmically and continuously, allowing us to entrain with others socially, unlike conventional measurements of time.
