Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.

Welcome, I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and

Ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. That's what I do for my day job, but over the last few years

I've become very active in teaching neuroscience and neuroscience related themes on social media and

I've also been fortunate enough to be hosted as a guest on various people's podcast to discuss neuroscience and neuroscience related tools.

So through those discussions and your feedback, I've decided to launch a podcast where we dive really deep into scientific topics and the tools related to those topics.

Now the format of this podcast is going to be a little bit different than many podcasts out there.

Most podcasts jump from topic to topic each episode or change guests each episode.

On the Huberman Lab podcast, we're going to dive deep into individual topics for an entire month at a time.

So for instance, we might take an entire month and go really deep into the topic of motivation and focus and

talk all about the science underlying motivation and focus, what's known, what's not known,

and then discuss the various tools as well as some of the barriers to motivation and focus that exists out there.

As a way for you to really understand how these processes work within you and within the people that you know and some ways to possibly

get better at things like motivation and focus.

Sometimes it's going to be just me talking to you other times it's going to be a guest here in the studio with me and still other times

we might hold guests remotely and have discussions with them over Zoom or some other distanced format.

There's another thing that's unusual about this podcast, which is that you, if you choose, can be a very active participant.

By placing your suggestions about which topics to cover and which information you would like to learn more about in the comment section,

we are going to pay careful attention to those comments and the number of likes that those comments receive.

So the comment section is a place for you to

give us constructive criticism, give us praise if you like, but most importantly it's going to be a place for you to make suggestions about what you would like to hear more about.

And we will respond to that.
