Podcasts about Cognition

In the newest episode of the Becoming HeadStrong Podcast, Coach Amanda finishes her May podcast series with a conversation on the "cognitive triad". While directly applicable to the clinical psychology side of things in relation to mood disorders, this can be useful for us on a day-to-day basis. Listen along with Coach Amanda to learn what this triad is, how it helps us on the clinical side of psychology, and also how it relates to sport psychology.

First up on the podcast, Online News Editor Michael Greshko joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about stories set high above our heads.

Something To Think About Series #189 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

As estrogen drops, our midlife brains go through a lot of changes. The activity in our dopamine network declines, which can leave us going from highly motivated to “meh.” We can experience bigger cortisol spikes and have elevated levels of the stress hormone longer. We can end up feeling constantly stressed out and in a doom spiral we can't quite escape. And it doesn't exactly help that many of us are also firmly entrenched in the most demanding period of our lives. This week's guest, cognitive neuroscientist Therese Huston, PhD, is coming to the rescue with a host of simple–and quick–ways to boost our dopamine, keep cortisol in check, and help our midlife brains be their best.Therese Huston, PhD, is a cognitive neuroscientist at Seattle University and the author of four books. She's always asking, “How can we remove the pesky obstacles that get in the way of smart people?” Her latest book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science, offers science-backed actionable strategies, many of which take 5 minutes or less, to help you make the most of the brain you've got. Therese received her MS and PhD in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon University. She completed a prestigious post-doc in cognitive neuroscience at the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and earned a degree in Organizational Leadership at Oxford University. She frequently gives talks and runs workshops for organizations like Microsoft, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, Strava, and the Cleveland Clinic. She also loves a good 5K, especially when the rain takes a pause in her hometown of Seattle.

Figuring out if your multiple sclerosis is changing from the relapsing remitting to the secondary progressive stage can be murky. Signs of progression are discussed like slower walking and worsening memory. The underlying reasons for progression are revealed including nervous system injury, remyelination failure, chronic inflammation and aging. Practical ways to improve progressive symptoms are shared. Successful trials for disease-modifying therapy for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) are highlighted. Tolebrutinib, under expedited review by the FDA, has been shown to slow down progression in SPMS patients by targeting cells in the central nervous system causing chronic inflammation. Introducing our new co-host Jamie Holloman MD from The MS Center for Innovations in Care!  Dr. Holloman completed in neurology residency at Washington University, followed by a 3-year fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic.  He interviews: Christopher Laganke MD, Founder of the Joanne P. LaGanke MS Center, Cullman, Alabama Barry Singer MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, St. Louis    

Can artificial intelligence transform how we navigate the most challenging dialogues on campus? Join us for a thought-provoking episode featuring philosopher and educator Simon Cullen, as he unveils his pioneering work at the intersection of education, technology, and constructive disagreement.In conversation with John Tomasi, Simon explores how open inquiry is both advanced and imperiled by disagreement, and describes his academic journey from Australia to Princeton and Carnegie Mellon. Central to the discussion is ‘Sway' an AI-powered platform developed by Simon and his team to foster rigorous, evidence-based dialogue among students on controversial topics. Sway intelligently pairs students with opposing views and acts as a “guide on the side,” scaffolding reasoning, encouraging intellectual humility, and ensuring that exchanges remain constructive and charitable. Simon shares the empirical findings from thousands of Sway-mediated dialogues, where measurable increases in students' openness, comfort, and analytical reasoning have been observed—even on divisive subjects like gender, immigration, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. In This Episode:

Vitamin D is more than a vitamin—it's a hormone that influences everything from your immune system to cardiovascular health, cognition, and longevity. In this conversation, Dr. Michael Holick breaks down the science of vitamin D synthesis, the truth about sun exposure vs. supplements, and why vitamin D deficiency is far more common—and more dangerous—than most people realize. You'll learn how skin pigmentation, UVB exposure, and supplementation protocols impact your vitamin D levels, and why D3 is more effective than D2. Dr. Holick also dives into mood, cognition, and the controversial role of vitamin D in chronic disease and COVID outcomes. With dosage guidelines by age and weight, plus practical advice on avoiding vitamin D toxicity, this episode is a masterclass on one of the most important—yet misunderstood—nutrients in health and longevity.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Gyorgy Buzsaki discusses the hippocampus's role beyond memory and spatial navigation, delving into its broader functions in cognition, action planning, and brain-body interactions; how hippocampal rhythms, like sharp wave ripples, influence memory consolidation, glucose regulation, and metabolic health, challenging conventional neuroscience assumptions; the interplay of brain rhythms, sleep, and preconfigured neural dynamics; the history and conceptual foundations of neuroscience; and more.About the guest: Gyorgy Buzsaki, MD, PhD is a professor at NYU. He leads a lab investigating how neural circuits underpin cognition, particularly through oscillations and brain-body interactions. His work has significantly advanced understanding of memory formation and spatial navigation.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Key Conversation Points:Hippocampus isn't just for memory or navigation; it may orchestrate action planning and abstract representations of the world, shaped by evolutionary constraints.Brain rhythms, like sharp wave ripples, synchronize neural activity, enabling efficient communication and impacting bodily functions like glucose homeostasis.Sharp wave ripples, prominent during non-REM sleep and consummatory states, are critical for memory consolidation and may link sleep disruptions to metabolic disorders.Buzsaki challenges the idea of memory as fixed synaptic patterns, proposing it's more like dynamic, cloud-like sequences, endlessly reconfigurable.The brain's intrinsic dynamics prioritize action generation and learning from consequences over external representations.Related episode:M&M 16: Sleep, Dreams, Memory & the Brain | Bob Stickgold*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

Send us a textThe connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline represents one of the most crucial health discoveries of our time—yet it remains surprisingly under-discussed in mainstream wellness conversations. Madison Levine, BC-HIS, founder of Levine Hearing and second-generation hearing care professional, joins us to explain why this matters and how hearing professionals are changing their approach to patient education.A groundbreaking study published in JAMA Otolaryngology found that 32% of dementia cases could be attributed to audiometric hearing loss, highlighting the urgent need for greater awareness. While many pursue various health interventions to extend their "healthspan," few recognize hearing treatment as a major modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline. Madison shares how education-based outreach has proven more effective than traditional marketing in bringing patients through the door, focusing on providing valuable information without immediately asking for anything in return.The conversation explores innovative approaches to patient education, including the implementation of cognitive screening tools like Cognivue that allow practitioners to track cognitive improvements in patients who pursue hearing treatment. Madison emphasizes the importance of targeting education not just at those with hearing loss, but at family members who often notice the signs first—like missing punchlines or asking "what" too frequently.Looking forward, Madison reveals her upcoming TEDx talk on "The Ear-Brain Connection" and her vision for a nationwide campaign uniting hearing professionals around consistent messaging. By shifting the conversation from hearing devices to brain health and approaching patients with genuine education rather than sales tactics, hearing healthcare can finally take its rightful place in preventative health discussions. Whether you're experiencing hearing difficulties or concerned about a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights into protecting cognitive health through better hearing care.

Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin—the world's first autonomous AI software engineer. Unlike other AI coding tools, Devin works like an autonomous engineer that you can interact with through Slack, Linear, and GitHub, just like with a remote engineer. With Scott's background in competitive programming and a previous AI-powered startup, Lunchclub, teaching AI to code has become his ultimate passion.What you'll learn:1. How a team of “Devins” are already producing 25% of Cognition's pull requests, and they are on track to hit 50% by year's end2. How each engineer on Cognition's 15-person engineering team works with about five Devins each3. How Devin has evolved from a “high school CS student” to a “junior engineer” over the past year4. Why engineering will shift from “bricklayers” to “architects”5. Why AI tools will lead to more engineering jobs rather than fewer6. How Devin creates its own wiki to understand and document complex codebases7. The eight pivots Cognition went through before landing on their current approach8.

Dr. Michele Matarazzo interviews Prof. Irena Rektorová about her recent study on early changes in the locus coeruleus in mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies. Using neuromelanin-sensitive MRI, the study reveals selective vulnerability of the caudal locus coeruleus and its association with specific cognitive and other nonmotor features. The conversation explores the implications for early diagnosis, the “body-first” hypothesis, and the potential role of NM-MRI as a biomarker. Read the article.

If you've noticed subtle changes in your memory or seen them in someone you love, this episode is a must-listen.I'm breaking down the earliest signs of Alzheimer's, what's normal, what's not—and the powerful things you can do today to protect your brain health long before symptoms become severe.

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by Allison Mädl, FNTP, educator, and long-time contributor to the Nutritional Therapy Association. Together, they unpack one of the most overlooked keys to vibrant health: minerals.   Allison shares how her personal health journey, combined with her years of teaching English to indigenous students in the U.S., led her to uncover the deeply rooted nutritional wisdom found in traditional cultures—especially the mineral-rich diets of the Misteco people of southern Mexico. From the science of how minerals regulate everything from inflammation to thyroid function, to the ancestral food practices like foraging and nixtamalization (soaking corn in alkaline solutions) to create more bio-availability in nutrient profiles, this episode explores how returning to whole, mineral-dense foods can transform our health at a cellular level - - - and may even slow graying hair!   You'll learn:   Why mineral balance is more important than isolated supplementation The role of minerals in muscle contraction, bone strength, and gene expression How trace mineral deficiencies may be linked to premature graying and chronic inflammation How reverse osmosis water could be depleting your mineral stores—and what to do about it Practical, ancestral ways to infuse more minerals into your life (yes, including tortillas)   Whether you're struggling with cramps, fatigue, inflammation, or just want to feel more resilient in your body, this conversation is packed with both inspiration and actionable wisdom rooted in tradition, science, and bio-individuality.   Don't forget to tune in Thursday for a follow-up "Quick Tips" episode on mineral-rich foods and simple ways to incorporate them into your routine.   Subscribe, give us a five-star review, and leave comments (if listening on Spotify!).

On this episode Lars speaks to Sebastian Suggate, who is a professor in education at the University of Regensburg in Germany. We talk about his early research into reading instruction, on the difference between it is possible to learn to read and when it is optimal to learn to read, the importance of oral language and vocabulary, the effectiveness of reading interventions, and the simple view of reading. We then talk about his more recent research into mental imagery, what this is and why the concept has seen a lot of debate and controversy (especially the debates between Stephen Kosslyn and Zenon Pylyshyn), and how it relates to different topics like reading, fine motor skills and screen time during early development, aphantasia (the inability to form any mental images), and the different theories about the role of mental imagery in cognition and memory.  For a list of Sebastian's publications, see: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=no&user=119RxMgAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate  Author website: https://sebastiansuggateresearch.com/  Articles and books mentioned: Pylyshyn, Z.

You've probably come across the "free energy principle." It's become one of the most influential ideas in the broader cognitive sciences. Since the neuroscientist Karl Friston first introduced it in 2005, the theory has been fleshed out, extended, generalized, criticized, and cited thousands and thousands of times. But what is this idea, exactly? What does it say about the nature of brains and minds? What does it say about the phenomenon of life itself? And is anything that it says really that new? My guest today is Dr. Kate Nave. Kate is a philosopher at the University of Edinburgh and the author of the new book, A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate offers an extended critical analysis of the free energy principle and situates it in a broader landscape of ideas about the nature of life and mind. In this conversation, Kate and I talk about how the free energy principle has changed over time, from its beginnings as a theory of cortical responses in the brain to its eventual status as a theory of... well, a lot. We discuss why this theory has had such an enormous influence, and we talk about how many of the key ideas behind it actually have a long history. We consider some kindred spirits of the free energy framework— approaches like cybernetics, enactivism, predictive processing, and autopoiesis. We walk through a series of questions that all these approaches have long grappled with. Questions like: What does it mean to be alive? What is the relationship between being alive and being cognitive? What are the roles of prediction and representation in cognition? And we ask how—if it all—the free energy principle gives us new answers to these old questions. Along the way, Kate and I touch on: surprisal, visual phenomenology, vitalism, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, Maturana and Varela, pendulums and bacteria, computation and models, primordial purposiveness, pancakes, and whether we'll ever be able to create artificial life. As you might be able to tell from the description I just gave, this conversation goes pretty deep—and it does get a bit technical. It dives down into the history and philosophy around some of the most foundational questions we can ask about minds. If that sounds like your cup of tea, enjoy. Alright friends, on to my conversation with Dr. Kate Nave!   A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.   Notes and links 5:00 – The 2005 paper in which Karl Friston proposed the principle of free energy minimization. Friston later generalized the ideas here and here. 14:00 – For influential philosophical work on action in perception, see Alva Nöe's book, Action in Perception. 17:00 – One of the classic works in the “enactivist” tradition is Evan Thompson's book, Mind in Life. 18:00 – The actual quip, credited to Carl Sagan, is about “apple pie” not pancakes: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” 20:00 – The notion of “autopoiesis” (or “self-creation”) was introduced by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela in their book, Autopoiesis and Cognition. 24:00 – A classic paper of cybernetics from 1943, ‘Behavior, purpose, and teleology.' 37:00 – For more on the idea of “predictive processing,” see our earlier episode with Dr. Mark Miller. 43:00 – For a discussion of the idea of “representation” in the philosophy of cognitive science, see here. For a discussion of “anti-representationalism,” see here.   Recommendations ‘Organisms, Machines, and Thunderstorms: A History of Self-Organization,' (part 1) (part 2), Evelyn Fox Keller The Mechanization of the Mind, Jean-Pierre Dupuy ‘The Reflex Machine and the Cybernetic Brain,' Mazvita Chirimuuta   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

In this eye-opening episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three hot-button topics shaping Britain's present and future. First, we dig into the Scunthorpe steel crisis, where the government's dramatic intervention to rescue British Steel marks a pivotal moment in UK industrial strategy and national sovereignty. Is this the return of meaningful statecraft, or just a sticking plaster on a rusty industry? Next, we explore the unsung hero of nutrition: choline. This vital brain-boosting nutrient is chronically overlooked in public health discussions, despite its growing importance in cognitive development, memory, and long-term mental health. We'll unpack the latest research, dietary sources, and why so few people—even health professionals—talk about it. Finally, we revisit the legacy of Sir Philip Green, once the high-street king, now a cautionary tale of corporate greed and moral failure. Should figures like Green face tougher consequences for business misdeeds, or is the system designed to protect them? Insightful, sharp, and never shy, Mark and Pete deliver commentary with both conscience and wit. Whether you're passionate about British industry, nutrition, or accountability, this episode has something for you.

Ľuboš Bartečko played professional hockey for 21 seasons and he shares his personal journey of discovering cognitive testing and how it has transformed his coaching approach, allowing him to better understand his player's strengths and inconsistencies. The discussion also touches on the importance of adapting coaching methods to individual players, the role of parents in athlete development, and the distinction between physical speed and play speed. We wrap up the conversation by discussing how understanding a player's unique cognitive profile can enhance their performance and decision-making on the ice.

Shame is a formidable force—an emotional wildfire that can either illuminate our path to growth or consume us in cycles of self-blame. For individuals with ADHD, this complex emotion is often amplified, lingering far beyond its utility as a corrective signal. But why? And more importantly, how do we break free?This week on The ADHD Podcast, hosts Pete Wright and Nikki Kinzer embark on an exploration of shame spirals with two powerhouse guests: James Ochoa, LPC, renowned ADHD pathfinder and author of Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD, and Dr. Nachi Felt, an ADHD specialist and professor at Columbia University where he teaches Psychopathology and helps direct the Cognition and Neuroscience Research Lab.Together, they dissect the neurobiology of shame, its insidious tendency to hijack our presence of mind, and the ways in which ADHD uniquely intensifies its grip. James and Nachi offer profound insights into the role of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the often-overlooked power of resourcing—the practice of cultivating internal and external tools to navigate emotional turbulence.From the interplay of trauma and shame to the game-changing realization that the same agency that allows us to sit in shame also allows us to stand up and move forward, this conversation is both a course in emotional resilience and a rallying cry for self-compassion.With humor, wisdom, and a touch of Brooklyn-style candor, this episode invites you to challenge your inner narratives, embrace the possibility of rewriting your personal stories, and ultimately, reclaim your incredible sense of self-worth.Resources & Links:Take Control ADHD Discord CommunitySupport the Podcast on PatreonJames Ochoa's Work & BooksDr. Nachi Felt's ADHD ResourcesDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:09) - Support the Show!

This week Bruce speaks about the work or Michael Levin, who is a biologist know for his work on cell cognition and collective intelligence or the idea that electrical signals between cells influence the formation of biological systems. His work has potentially massive implications in cancer research and other fields. Though rarely identified with 3rd way evolution, his work has more than a passing similarity to it. Like 3rd way evolutionists, he seeks to expand evolutionary theory beyond the alleged reductionism of a gene-centric or neo-Darwinian approach. Presumably, these bioelectric effects could be considered a kind of epigenetic or evolutionary process existing outside the genome.However, unlike the 3rd Way evolutionists, he's ready to back up his views with clever and shocking experiments that confront popular interpretations of gene-centric evolution head on.Can Levin's work possibly help us determine who is more right in the argument between 3rd Way evolutionists like Denis Noble or James Shapiro vs mainstream evolutionary biologists like Zach Hancock?Support us on Patreon

Let's cut to the chase: “The overwhelming majority of murders in the United States involve guns,” says economist Jens Ludwig. “And in fact, most of the difference in overall murder rates between the United States and other countries are due to murders with guns.” This may seem intuitively obvious to outside observers, but studying guns within the United States has long been a fraught endeavor, and the amount of research isn't commensurate with the impact on U.S. society. That said, Ludwig has taken on exploring the roots of American gun violence, work that serves as grist for the Crime Lab he directs at the University of Chicago and for many of his books, including his latest, Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence. What's he's found is that the folk wisdom around gun violence doesn't rally hold up to the evidence. In this Social Science Bites episode, he explains to interviewer David Edmonds how – using insights about ‘system one' and system two' thinking developed by Daniel Kahneman – cognition in individuals has more explanatory power than traditional variables like poverty, education and environment. “I think system one plays an underappreciated role in all interpersonal violence, all of the issues, and this way of seeing what is driving violent behavior among people is equally true for knife violence in the UK and on and on,” Ludwig says. “So I think this is really a universal thing about people's behavior. This sort of frame on the problem helps make sense of a bunch of patterns in the data.” Ludwig is the Edwin A. and Betty L. Bergman Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, Pritzker Director of the Crime Lab and codirector of the Education Lab at that campus, and codirector of the National Bureau of Economic Research's working group on the economics of crime. He and his labs are routinely recognized for their work. The Crime Lab in 2014, for example, received a MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions, while eight years earlier Ludwig himself was awarded the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management's David N. Kershaw Prize for Contributions to Public Policy by Age 40. Some of the books he's co-authored or co-edited include 2000's Gun Violence: The Real Costs, 2003's Evaluating Gun Policy, and 2012's Controlling Crime: Strategies and Tradeoffs.

This lecture examines the influential debate between philosophers Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, focusing on themes of human nature, justice, and power. It begins with Chomsky's argument for an innate biological basis for language acquisition, exploring how humans develop complex linguistic abilities despite limited input. In contrast, Foucault challenges the very concept of human nature, questioning its definitional clarity and arguing that it serves more as a reflection of evolving knowledge than a concrete scientific truth. The discussion oscillates between their contrasting views, dissecting the relationship between language, knowledge, and cognition while critiquing the disconnect between philosophical inquiry and its relevance to society. Ultimately, the lecture calls for clearer definitions in philosophical discussions and emphasizes the responsibility of intellectuals to address the practical needs of the public they serve.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
