Podcasts – The Beautiful Brain
Summary: The Beautiful Brain Podcast explores the latest findings from the ever-growing field of neuroscience, with particular attention to the dialogue between the arts and sciences. In this monthly program, host Noah Hutton reports on news from the world of brain science, interviews important thinkers about their work, and reviews new literature in the field. The show illuminates important new questions about creativity, the mind of the artist, and the mind of the observer that modern neuroscience is helping us to answer, or at least to provide part of an answer. Instances where art seeks to answer questions of a traditionally scientific nature are also of great interest, and for that reason you will hear from artists as well as scientists on The Beautiful Brain.

In this month's podcast, Noah Hutton speaks with British artist Andrew Carnie, whose current installation at the GV Art Gallery in London uses slide projections to explore the evolving narrative of the brain.
Reality may be a persistent illusion; so is the way we think about it, says psychology researcher Daniel Simons, co-author of The Invisible Gorilla. In this edition of The Beautiful Brain Podcast, Simons discusses the research behind his new book, which grew out of a simple experiment about attention, or lack thereof.
How does a constellation of neurons store a memory over a lifetime? Could this system of storage be selectively edited to enhance pleasurable memories and delete painful ones? (Think "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," a film based largely on this research). In this episode of the podcast, Noah Hutton interviews Todd Sacktor about his cutting-edge research.
Bevil Conway is truly an artist and a neuroscientist. He has studied painting at McGill and neuroscience at Harvard.
