in the last episode i tackled the question of whether we could really know what it's like

to be someone else as in empathize with them so completely that we actually really understand

what it is to be in their shoes today we're're going to ask, could technology help us to get there?

Could we have dreams celebrities in which some people upload their dreams and other people watch them and a dream can go viral?

How am I going to explain what consciousness actually feels like through four movies that got it wrong?

Why don't you see your own blinks?

What would it be like to numb exactly one half of your brain with barbiturates?

Welcome to Inner Cosmos with me, David Eagleman.

I'm a neuroscientist and author at Stanford, and in these episodes, we sailed deeply into our

three-pound universe to understand why and how our lives look the way they do.

Okay. our lives look the way they do. I'm Soledad O'Brien, and on my new true crime podcast, Murder on the Tooth Path,

I'm taking you back to 1964 to the cold case of artist Mary Pinchot Meyer.

She had been shot twice in the head and in the back.

It turns out Mary was connected to a very powerful man.

I pledge you that we shall neither commit nor provoke aggression.
