David Eagleman explores time perception, synesthesia, and the unconscious mind through research and public science. His concept of the 'livewired' brain emphasizes continuous neural reorganization. He created the PBS series 'The Brain' and pioneered sensory substitution devices like the vest that translates sound into tactile patterns for deaf users.
“The brain is like a team of rivals, with different systems competing for control.”
