Performance Neurology with Josh Turknett, MD

Extraordinary minds are built from ordinary brains. This show is about how to build yours, and how to get out of its way when it counts. I'm Josh Turknett, a neurologist and the author of The Genius and the Impostor. I talk with people who have built remarkable skills, from a three-time Grammy-winning guitarist and a six-time USA Memory Champion to a man who stuttered for more than sixty years, then retrained his speech at seventy. We dig into how they did it, and I walk through what was happening in their brains along the way, so you can put the same science to work on whatever you're learning.
