Thanks, Patricia. Hello, I'm Ariel, and I'll be your guide as we go inside the head of some of the

world's most extraordinary brain scientists, psychologists, meditators, those who are skilled

in the mental arts. And we're going to learn both from their cutting edge work

and their own human experience, how our brains work, how to optimize them, and how to manage

the crazy in all of our minds. Today we're going to get inside the head of David Eagleman,

an incredibly prolific neuroscientist, particularly a perception neuroscientist. You might know him from his TED Talk,

where he interprets the stock market through a sensory vest, his PBS special on the brain,

or any of the New York Times bestsellers that he's written. He's also a buddy, a fellow

startup entrepreneur, and an incredible guy. Today we are going to get inside David's head.

Welcome, David. Thanks. It's awesome to get inside David's head. Welcome, David.

Thanks.

It's awesome to be here.

So, David, to start off on one of your fascinating topics, you've written a lot about memory and how who we think we are is defined by our memories.

But in fact, those memories are quite changeable.

Can you talk a bit about that?

Yeah.
