Podcast
Wu Tsai Neuro |?From Our Neurons to Yours
Our podcast is back for season 4! Follow the latest episodes, where we bring you to the frontiers of neuroscience to understand what makes us human.
We talk with anesthesiologist Boris Heifets about how psychedelics work in the brain. How do tiny quantities of these chemicals alter our perception of reality? And what does that say about... reality?
Memory expert Anthony Wagner discusses what neuroscience can teach us about why we remember, why we forget, and how we might even improve our memories.
Surya Ganguli, associate professor of applied physics, explores the intersection of neuroscience and AI, shedding light on how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) could provide insights into our own brains.
Stanford Neuroscience in the news
Eight years ago, the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s flagship “Big Ideas in Neuroscience” grant program launched the Stanford NeuroChoice Initiative. Now, the multidisciplinary “Big Ideas in Neuroscience” initiative linked addiction-focused basic research, clinical application, and public policy.
