In this podcast, we journey from the stars to our synapses: Will we ever find life beyond Earth, and how would it change everything we know? How does music rewire our brains and bodies for emotional well-being, and trauma reshape our brain circuitry? From this to the questions of why so many high achievers feel like impostors, what the hidden dangers of everyday noise are, and what whale songs and chimp gestures can teach us about the origins of human language, we uncover what defines us and what connects us. Join us in “Brains, Biosignals, and Everything In Between” for a journey through the science of being human!
