Podcast appearances and mentions of dean burnett

What happens in your brain when Cupid's arrow strikes? As a teenager, Alison developed an intense crush on George Harrison from the Beatles. But, she wants to know, why do we develop these feelings for pop stars we've never actually met? And what potent swirl of neurochemistry drives those fierce emotions?With neuroscientist Dr. Dean Burnett and evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Anna Machin as their guides, Hannah and Dara investigate everything from the brain's chemical fireworks during a crush to the evolutionary perks of love and bonding. Along the way, they dissect teenage infatuations, lifelong love affairs with football teams, and why love can feel as addictive as heroin.There's even a guest appearance from two cute rodents: the monogamous prairie voles and their more, shall we say, commitment-phobic cousins, the montane voles, who gave us early clues about the role of the ‘cuddle' hormone oxytocin. Whether you're a hopeless romantic or a hard-nosed skeptic, prepare to fall head over heels for the science of love.Contributors:Dr Anna Machin - evolutionary anthropologist and author of Why We Love Dr Dean Burnett - honorary research fellow at Cardiff Psychology School, author of The Idiot Brain and The Happy Brain.

Welcome to episode 209 with Dr Dean Burnett, who is a neuroscientist, lecturer and author. Dean is currently an honorary research fellow at Cardiff Psychology School and has also worked as a psychiatry tutor and lecturer at the Cardiff University Centre for Medical Education. He is the author of several acclaimed books about brains, neuroscience, emotions and mental health. And this episode is a little bit different. I wanted to do an episode about mental health and mental illness from the perspective of the human brain. I often focus on society and the things around us that impact our mental health, so for this conversation I wanted get some understanding of what's actually happening to our brains when our experiences, circumstances or environment are affecting us mentally. I thought a lot about common themes and threads from this show over the years and I asked Dean things like What is happening in the brain when we get lonely and why is isolation so harmful to us? Why do brains like nature so much? How does sitting with our emotions actually help our brains to process them? Why do our brains choose to feel anxious even, when we know that there is nothing to be anxious about? And loads of other stuff too. Dean was incredible to chat to! It was absolutely fascinating to be able to explore his extensive, brain related knowledge and we had a lot of fun too.

What's the right age to give a child a mobile phone? How long should kids spend on screens each day? Why don't we need to feel as guilty about our children's phone use as we might think? Answering all these questions is the awesome neuroscientist Dean Burnett. He explains the difference between compulsion and addiction, and why he doesn't think Australia's plan to ban social media for under 16s is a good idea. We look at tricky issues like explicit content, cyberbullying, and the effect of staring at a screen on kids' eyesight - and find out what we can do about them. Dean tells us how long his own children spend on screens each day, and we are relieved. Along with giving us some tips on dealing with teens, Dean reveals how we can stave off the brain fog that comes with age. We end with some Scummy Mummy Confessions involving dirty pants, the Miami International Psychedelics Convention, and a packet of ham. And keep listening right to the end for some very strong language as we learn the Welsh term for "jellyfish". Dean's brilliant books, Why Your Parents Are Driving You Up The Wall And What You Can Do About It and Why Your Parents Are Hung Up On Your Phone And What To Do About It are out now.

I'm joined by Dean Burnett who is a proper Neuroscientist with a background in lecturing in the domain of mental health...so he knows what he's on about when it comes to the topic of addiction, and whether smartphone addiction is a real thing. Hint: it's not. I asked Dean onto the show because he's written a new book called "why your parents are hung up on your phone and what to do about it" aimed at the teens who are the subject matter of much of the current narrative surrounding this issue. Dean is a writer for the BBC science focus magazine and he used ot write for The Guardian helping people understand how brains affect us in the real world and so his latest book is discussed here at length. Dean recently appeared on a BBC Sunday morning show and was not given the time to explain about the current 'chicken little' of smartphone panic about them being an addiction so I asked him on the podcast to tell us about it... spoiler is you will learn some neuroscience about this clinical diagnosis and it might just change your mind = Neuroplasticity (not sorry- this is my small neuro-nerd joke here) Go grab a coffee and listen in, as this is a most excellent podcast to begin my first video version here on Spotify. So I'm calling it a new season so here we go! You can find Dean on social media talking about his work, cat and dog under the handle @garwboy and his website is www.deanburnett.com

We made it! It's the finale of Discovery's first season! And it's.... eh, you know. A bit of a damp squib, to be honest. But don't worry!

Thanks to the advent of the smartphone, we now have in our pockets more computing power than NASA needed to put human beings on the Moon. With it comes access to vast amounts of information, both good and bad, and the ability to communicate like never before. But what impact is this having on our children's lives and how should we approach their smartphone use? In this episode, we're joined by neuroscientist, author and BBC Science Focus columnist Dr Dean Burnett to talk about his latest book Why Your Parents Are Hung Up On Your Phone And What To Do About It. He tells us why screen time isn't anywhere near as bad for your kids as people say, why using search engines isn't rotting their brains and how, far from being antisocial, phones can actually help younger people to develop and maintain their social lives.

Everyone knows your brain hasn't finished maturing until you're 25. That's so well-known, in fact, that some countries (like Scotland) have built it into their criminal justice system, giving lower sentences to under-25s—even very violent ones—on account of their immature brains.But in this episode of The Studies Show, Tom and Stuart discuss what the evidence really says about when the brain matures—and the trickiness of linking important policy decisions to the science.The Studies Show is brought to you by Works in Progress magazine, who don't just have their magazine (at worksinprogress.co), but also have a Substack with a range of extra articles.

Are cyborgs now reality? Elon Musk certainly thinks so. His company, Neuralink, has successfully implanted one of its wireless brain chips in a human. Although billed as a breakthrough, they're not the first to do it. In fact, similar devices have already been implanted, all with the aim of connecting our brains to computers with the aim of tackling complex neurological conditions. Joining Inside Science is neuroscientist and author, Dean Burnett. In this episode, Dean helps to break down the technology behind the brain-computer interface and digs into the ethical implications. Plus, game changing smart technology gets a run out as Rugby Union's Six Nations Championship kicks-off. This year, all players will be wearing “Smart Mouth Guards.” These are intelligent gum shields containing miniature gyroscopes, accelerometers and Bluetooth, which provide - with incredible accuracy - a measure of the magnitude and frequency of forces experienced by players. An athlete making their international debut in this competition could have their entire collision history mapped from now until retirement, providing invaluable information for training and treatments. Crucial not only for elite squads, but ultimately for community and schools rugby where the technology will eventually land, leading to a safer game. And finally, it turns out that we can actually understand chickens even if we've never met them before! After assessing a group of around 200 volunteers, a team at the University of Queensland has discovered that humans with no experience of chickens at all, could understand the birds' calls of satisfaction, or frustration. The research has serious implications for what's known as precision farming, an area of livestock farming with little, to no, human interaction that requires automated systems of welfare detection using sound recognition.

Ketamine is licenced to be used as an anaesthetic and has a reputation as an illegal party drug. But after trials in the US and UK, many are calling for its wider use to treat depression. However, it is a powerful drug that can have dangerous side effects and was recently linked to the death of US actor Matthew Perry.Professor of Psychopharmacology at the University of Exeter, Celia Morgan joins Katya Adler to talk about her trials of the drug to treat addiction. And neuroscientist Dr Dean Burnett, from the BBC's Science Focus Magazine tells us what he learnt after legally experiencing ketamine therapy in the US.

On this week’s show, we’re getting emotional. Our guest, neuroscientist Dean Burnett, talks about his new book Emotional Ignorance. He shares how the experience of his father’s death during covid prompted him to take on his emotions by writing about them. We talk about the sad, such as why people cry, but also travel across a wide range of emotions including strange emotional experiences such as nightmares. And we dive into the complexity of emotions, from defining them to how they arise in the brain and connections with the body.

Ever wondered what is happening in your body and brain when you feel an emotion? How to better cope with negatives ones? Or why we even have them in the first place? We speak to neuroscientist and author Dr Dean Burnett about the surprising discoveries he made when writing his new book: Emotional Ignorance. Hosted on Acast.

However, when grief takes hold it causes us to re-evaluate or relationship with what we see in scientific papers. Sean was joined by Dr Dean Burnett, a behavioural neuroscientist who has had his views changed on how emotions should work...

From Trump, to Johnson, and Truss – are politicians really stupid? Or are they just pretending to be so that we'll vote for them? Siân Pattenden delves into the state of our political psyche with Dean Burnett, neuroscientist and author of The Idiot Brain, to find out the science behind why we vote for stupid politicians. “Calling politicians ‘idiots' defangs them. It makes us feel reassured instead of terrified.”  “Sounding clever doesn't connect politicians to the electorate.”  “Politics really suffers when it becomes the reserve of the rich and powerful, because it becomes a game.” Written and presented by Siân Pattenden. Lead Producer: Jacob Jarvis. Producers: Jacob Archbold, Jelena Sofronijevic and Alex Rees. Assistant producer: Kasia Tomasiewicz. Audio production by Jade Bailey. Music: Kenny Dickinson.

I'd love to hear from you — your thoughts, your over-thoughts, your comments, and ALSO your suggestions for whatever you'd like me to overthink in an upcoming episode.  Just email me at HeresAThought8@gmail.com  — I'll never sell or share your email address, promise!2. If I run into you, especially if it's somewhere I don't usually run into you, I will absolutely remember you — just, maybe, not your name. I'm terrible with names, always have been, and it's embarrassing.  But thanks to neuroscientist, author and blogger Dean Burnett, I've learned that brain science is on my side here.Check out his book, Idiot Brain: What Your Head is Really Up To, or its excerpt he published in 2016 in New York magazine's The Cut.  It's very reassuring, if names escape you too at times.Background music courtesy of Pixabay Music

Recently a study made the rounds that sought to cast doubt on the efficacy of antidepressants. At the core of this misleading study was a real truth – that depression isn't merely a question of "not enough serotonin." But what exactly does that mean? Is this a new discovery? And why doesn't that mean that medication focused on serotonin doesn't work? Explaining this brilliantly and with singular charm is Dr. Dean Burnett!

Problemy ze zdrowiem psychicznym dotykają 1 na 4 osoby, praktycznie każdy z nas zna kogoś, kto zmaga się z jakimś zaburzeniem, bądź sami się z nimi borykamy. Rozmawiam z Dr Deanem Burnettem, który jest neurobiologiem i zajmuje się poznawaniem tych problemów od strony neurobiologicznej właśnie. Okazją jest polski przekład jego ostatniej książki "Psycho-logika", która oryginalnie ukazała się rok temu. Skąd się bierze depresja? Jak działają leki antydepresanty? Czym różni się mózg mężczyzny i kobiety? Dlaczego należy ostrożnie używać określenia "choroba psychiczna"? Jak destrukcyjny dla nas jest trwający długo lęk? Czym jest neuroplastyczność? To tylko kilka zagadnień o których rozmawiamy. Książka Deana Burnetta "Psycho-logika" tu: https://bit.ly/psychologika
