Who would have ever thought the human brain would be compared to Mr Potato Head? With its phenomenal capacity to change and re-wire itself at any age, our guest this week, the incomparable neuroscientist,David Eagleman, does just that. In this episode, Eagleman sits down with Brian Taylor to talk about sensory substitution, sensory enhancement and Eagleman's company, Neosensory, which leverages these concepts in their Buzz, Duo and Clarify technologies.
