| 0:00.0 | While many scientists focus on how the brain works on average, my guest today explores meaningful ways that our brains are actually quite dissimilar from one another. |
| 0:15.0 | Instead of looking at what is average among everyone, we today are going to focus on how every single brain is |
| 0:25.2 | different and exactly why our quirks are important and what this means to each of us. |
| 0:34.7 | We are going to talk today with Chantelle Pratt, who has led her field in research employing |
| 0:43.3 | cutting-edge technology, which ultimately reveals the truth of her new book, that as complicated |
| 0:51.5 | as the neuroscience may be, there are no two brains that are alike. |
| 0:58.3 | Individual differences in brain functioning are as pervasive and fundamental to defining what |
| 1:06.7 | normal looks like. Let's take a deep dive into the neuroscience of you, how every single brain is |
| 1:15.9 | different and how you can understand yours. This is the Lindsay Elmore Show. Welcome to the |
| 1:23.0 | Lindsay Elmore Show, a podcast for people who deserve to be healthy. With honest, open, and enlightening |
| 1:29.8 | conversations with doctors, thought leaders, creatives, and spiritual gurus, you'll walk away |
| 1:36.4 | with simple and tangible tips and tricks that allow you to live your healthiest life |
| 1:43.2 | so you can pursue your dreams, overcome obstacles, |
| 1:46.5 | and leave your mark. |
| 1:49.8 | Chantel Pratt is a professor at the University of Washington with appointments in the |
| 1:54.8 | departments of psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics, and at the Institute for Learning |
| 2:00.2 | and Brain Sciences, the Center for Neurotechnology, |
| 2:03.7 | and the Institute for Neuroengineering. A cognitive neuroscientist by training, her interdisciplinary |
| 2:10.1 | research investigates the biological basis of individual differences in cognition, with an emphasis on understanding the shared neural |
| 2:21.2 | mechanisms underpinning language and higher level executive functions. She is the recipient of the |
| 2:28.2 | Tom Treboso Young Investigator Award from the Society of Text and Discourse and a Pathway to Independence Award |
| 2:37.7 | from the National Institute of Health. Her work has been supported by over $3 million |
