healthy, connected, and purpose-filled life. You can learn more about our courses, our community,

I speak with Adam Gazali. Adam is a neuroscientist, neurologist, inventor, author, photographer,

entrepreneur, and investor. He obtained an MD and PhD in neuroscience at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

He is the founder and executive director of Neuroscape, a neuroscience center at the University of California, San Francisco.

He is the co-founder of Achille Interactive, a digital medicine business, combining scientific and clinical rigor with

the ingenuity of the tech industry to reinvent medicine.

He is the co-founder of Sensink, the world's first sensory immersion vessel, and he is the

co-author of the distracted mind, ancient brains in a high-tech world.

Now Adam and I explore the nature of human attention, our susceptibility to distraction,

the impacts of technology on our ability to maintain sustained attention, the attention economy,

the concept of multitasking, and practices for improving our

cognitive function. So Adam is a lot of fun, and he presents these relatively complicated topics

in a highly accessible manner. So I hope you enjoy my conversation with Adam Gazali. My name is Jeff Krasno, and welcome to Kambian.
