EP 15: Laurence Hirshberg on Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation

"The question I had was, well I could teach people how to cope better, I could teach people how to manage that arousal better, but could I actually turn down that arousal so they weren't having to deal with so damn much."

Laurence Hirshberg is a brainach. You'll get two minutes into this conversation and his intelligence will simply smack you in the face. I love that. I love brilliant people. But he's also the kind of smart person who deeply cares. That is why Laurence was such an awesome guest to have on. Not only does he know his stuff, he also deeply believes in what he's doing and has seen the power of it to change peoples lives. In this episode you'll learn about:

• His early research with babies (and why they made him feel guilty)
• His work with autism
• Why Big Data won't change the world
• how infrared light can heal the brain
• How we've come a long way from Electro Convulsive Therapy
• The book he recommends as a study break
• The book every student should read
• and much more.
