Can You REALLY Be Bored To Death?

What is boredom really, and why does it feel so unbearable? Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens explore the science of boredom, revealing it not as laziness or a lack of stimulation, but as a signal from the brain when prediction and learning grind to a halt. When nothing changes and everything is expected, the mind begins to push back. From dopamine experiments and waiting rooms to sensory deprivation and solitary confinement, they examine how boredom emerges from lost uncertainty and why the brain would rather create discomfort, hallucinations, or anxiety than stop predicting altogether. This episode unpacks the psychology and neuroscience of boredom, showing how surprise drives pleasure, how boredom reshapes behaviour, and why this uneasy emotion may be essential to curiosity, creativity, and human progress. ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit ⁠⁠https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience⁠⁠ Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

You 2.0: Trusting Your Doubt

We conclude our month-long You 2.0 series with a look at the hidden power of doubt — not as weakness or indecision, but as a tool that helps us make better choices and navigate an uncertain world. Researcher Bobby Parmar explores how doubt can sharpen judgment, and makes a case for why the ability to sit with uncertainty may be one of the most important skills of all. Then, in our latest installment of "Your Questions Answered," Emily Falk answers listeners' questions about defensiveness, and offers insights into how we can strengthen our ability to give and receive feedback. In this episode, you'll learn: *Why uncertainty and doubt feel so uncomfortable to our brains. *Why intuition can lead us astray, and how to know when doubt can help you make better decisions. *How the "pursue," "protect," and "pause and piece together" systems in our brains shape our decision making. *How stress can affect these brain systems and alter how we make decisions. *How our desire to avoid blame makes it more difficult to listen to our doubt. *Why we tend to prefer decisive leaders — and why this tendency doesn't always serve us well. *What researchers have learned about how experts and novices use doubt differently to navigate complex situations.

Dr Lindsey Sinclair - What Changing Institution Taught Me

Dr Lindsey Sinclair narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog, Lindsey reflects on what stepping outside a long held academic home taught her about confidence, career identity, and progression. Drawing on her move from Bristol to Southampton after time in Brisbane, she explores the emotional, practical, and professional realities of changing institution, and how the shift helped her see her own expertise more clearly while still recognising that staying put must remain a valid and inclusive career path. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-what-changing-institution-taught-me/ -- Dr Lindsey Sinclair is an Associate Professor and Clinical Academic in Old Age Psychiatry at the University of Southampton. Her research explores the relationship between depression and dementia, combining lab work with epidemiology and genetics. Clinically, she works with older adults experiencing a wide range of mental health problems. Outside of work, she’s a keen baker and runner, and has a particular talent for creating ambitious birthday cakes. Find Lindsey on LinkedIn -- Enjoy listening?

You 2.0: The Practice of Patience

Patience can sometimes feel like a lost art, particularly in a culture that prizes competition and the idea of "failing fast." But psychologist Sarah Schnitker says patience is a vital skill for success in both our personal and professional lives. We talk with Sarah about the difference between patience and passivity, and how to train ourselves to be more patient. Then, in our latest installment of "Your Questions Answered," Jennifer Tosti-Kharas responds to listeners' questions about how to find a calling, and how to set one aside if it's no longer serving you well. In this episode, you'll learn: *Why our brains dislike uncertainty so much, and how this can lead to impatience and hasty decisions. *The three different types of patience that researchers have identified — and how each one can affect your life. *How to strengthen your own ability to practice patience. *The relationship between purpose and patience. *How impatience affects our mental and physical health.

You and Me and Mr. Self-Esteem

Most of us spend some part of our lives feeling bad about ourselves and wanting to feel better. But this preoccupation is a surprisingly new one in the history of the world, and can largely be traced back to one man: a rumpled, convertible-driving California state representative named John Vasconcellos who helped spark a movement that took over schools, board rooms, and social-service offices across America in the 1990s. This week, we look at the rise and fall of the self-esteem movement and ask: is it possible to raise your self-esteem? And is trying to do so even a good idea? Special thanks to big thank you to the University of California, Santa Barbara Library for use of audio material from their Humanistic Psychology Archives and to their staff for helping located so many audio recordings.

Rebecca Williams - Why you should Start Writing Blogs

Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog, Rebecca reflects on nearly three years of blogging during her PhD and how writing regularly changed her confidence, communication skills, and sense of voice as a researcher. She shares early doubts about not being a good writer, the gradual development of her writing process, and the unexpected impact her blogs had on others. As she steps into her postdoctoral career, Rebecca looks back on blogging as one of the most meaningful parts of her PhD and encourages early career researchers to start writing, even when they do not feel ready. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-why-you-should-start-writing-blogs/ -- Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North’ in a small town called Leigh, she did her undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting to Cambridge for her doctorate researching Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy. She now spends her days collecting data from wonderful volunteers, and coding. Outside work, she plays board games, and is very crafty. @beccasue99 -- Enjoy listening?

How hot could the planet get?

We know the planet is getting hotter because of human-induced climate change. But just how hot could it get? In this show, Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar chat to NASA scientist, Kate Marvel, about the world of climate modelling. Kate has spent decades trying to work out what will happen to the Earth as emissions of carbon dioxide increase. Although the basic facts of climate change are settled, climate modellers are trying to understand how photosynthesis by plants will change in a warmer world. And they’re also puzzling over the crucial role played by clouds! Recently, Kate has written Human Nature, a book about how climate change affects our emotions - from grief and anger to hope and love. She says the wide range of feelings prompted by global warming are compatible with getting the science right. Hosts: Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar Guest: Kate Marvel, Climate scientist and author Production Team: Nik Sindle, Diane Richardson, Brenda Brown Sound Mix: Phil Bull and Tom Brignell Editor: Simon Watts If you have a question for the team, email: TheClimateQuestion@BBC.com or WhatsApp: +44 8000 321 721 Image credit: Wildfires in California, Reuters

Your Brain On... Presidential Aging

The U.S. is set to have its oldest President ever. Should we be worried, or are we thinking about aging the wrong way? The unprecedented age of the two United States presidential candidates, Biden and Trump, has sparked fiery debates over whether a leader can be 'too old' to effectively run a country. Our guest for this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Charan Ranganath, recently published a New York Times op-ed offering an alternative view: age itself may not be a useful metric for measuring how successfully a president might lead the nation. In this episode of 'Your Brain On', we discuss: • The different types of memory, and how they work • How our brains can remain more resilient than is often thought in older age • Historic figures who have made significant contributions to the world during their twilight years • The inspiring power of our cognitive reserve We're also joined by longevity expert Dan Buettner, renowned for his work on 'The Blue Zones' — parts of the world with longer life expectancy — for a conversation about why having an older leader might not be an inherently bad thing. This is the SEASON ONE FINALE of Your Brain On. Thank you so much for listening! We return in May 2024 with ten more exhilarating stories about the world through a neuroscientific lens. 'Your Brain On' is hosted by neuroscientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. 'Your Brain On... Presidential Aging' • SEASON 1 • EPISODE 10 Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel Prize-winning psychologist and celebrated author, who Dr. Charan Ranganath mentioned during our conversation, sadly passed away the week before we recorded this episode. We dedicate this episode to his memory, and his work. ——— LINKS Dr. Charan Ranganath His website: https://charanranganath.com/ His new book, 'Why We Remember': https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/705542/why-we-remember-by-charan-ranganath-phd/ At UC Davis: https://psychology.ucdavis.edu/people/charan Dan Buettner His website: https://danbuettner.com/ Blue Zones: https://www.bluezones.com/ On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danbuettner ——— FOLLOW US Join the NEURO Academy: NEUROacademy.com Instagram: @thebraindocs Website: TheBrainDocs.com More info and episodes: TheBrainDocs.com/Podcast
