Neuroscience: Amateur Hour

Thoughtful and knowledgeable host. Enough science but not too much. Each episode distinct, self-contained and really stimulating.

I've only listened to one episode so far and it was very informative and interesting. I really like that the host takes an amateur approach, getting just technical enough to appeal to science lovers that are not professionals in the field. The episodes listened to, about alien hand syndrome, was well researched and led me to draw some parallels between aspects of the syndrome and an interview on the podcast The Daily. In The Daily episode, the Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, was explaining how AI mimics neural networks in the brain and eventually can learn from itself, becoming independent as the hand or limb does in AHS. Anyway, thanks for this thought provoking episode.

I really hope this show comes back. Great content.

Love smart girls, and this girl is smart!
