    Neuroscience rockstar Brian Sweis joins us for episodes 42 - 45. Within the context of the Kelly Nicole Foundation’s mission, we discuss his work and background. Here’s a brief summary from Dr. Sweis’s Thesis: “How the brain processes information when making decisions depends on how that information is stored. Distinct neural circuits are capable of storing information in many different ways that are better suited for different situations. The decision-making processes that access those different bits of stored information are not singular and occupy separable neural circuits, each of which can operate in parallel with one another, and each of which can confer different information processing properties based on the neural constraints within which a given computation resides. Such is the framework of recent theories in neuroeconomics, which suggest that decisions are multi-faceted and action-selection processes can arise from fundamentally distinct circuit-specific neural computations.” So deal with that.
