Podcast appearances and mentions of Eric Kandel

Now that we have the ability to see inside the brain without opening anyone's skull, we'll be able to map and define brain activity and peg it to behavior and feelings. Right? Well, maybe not, or maybe not just yet. It seems the workings of our brains are rather too complex and diverse across individuals to really say for certain what a brain scan says about a person. But Nobel prize winner Eric Kandel and researcher Cynthia Fu tell us about groundbreaking work in the field of depression that just may help us toward better diagnosis and treatment.Anything that helps us treat a disease better is welcome. Doctors have been led astray before by misunderstanding a disease and what makes it better. Neurologist Robert Sapolsky tells us about the turn of the last century, when doctors discovered that babies who died inexplicably in their sleep had thymus glands that seemed far too large. Blasting them with radiation shrank them effectively, and so was administered to perfectly healthy children to prevent this sudden infant death syndrome...Leadership support for Radiolab's science programming is provided by the Simons Foundation and the John Templeton Foundation. Foundational support for Radiolab was provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

In this episode, Dr. Dave Rabin sits down with Jamie Wheal, bestselling author of Stealing Fire, and celebrated author of Recapture the Rapture, to explore the evolving role of psychedelics in society, from their historical significance in the 1960s counterculture to their emerging therapeutic applications today. They deep dive into consciousness, psychedelics, the concept of ‘rapture', the neuroscience of courage, and insights from Eric Kandel on how evolutionary learning mechanisms shape all decision-making. Examining the contrast between ancient plant medicine traditions and modern high-potency psychedelics, they highlight the challenges of integration, the risks of dependency, and the importance of preparation and support in therapeutic settings. They also address the commodification of psychedelics, the necessity of a sacramental approach, and the deeper spiritual and communal significance of these substances. Ultimately, they emphasize self-discovery, the acceptance of uncertainty, and the requirement for unity and responsible engagement with psychedelics to foster healing and collective transformation.

Talking with Dr. Julie Faitg was a powerful reminder of just how much we're discovering about mitochondria and aging. When you pair an elite mitochondrial scientist with a breakthrough nutrient like Urolithin A, the insights go beyond what you'd expect. Julie gives us this incredible look into how we can actually change the course of aging at the cellular level. This conversation made me rethink what we know about supporting long-term health and resilience, and I think it will do the same for you. It's one of those big-picture, eye-opening conversations that I can't wait for you to hear. ~DrKF CHECK OUT THE SHOW NOTES AT https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for a full list of links and resources.

Eric Kandel was born in Vienna in 1929. In 1938 he and his family fled to Brooklyn, where he attended the Yeshiva of Flatbush. He studied history and literature at Harvard, and received an MD from NYU. He is a professor of biochemistry at Columbia University, and won the 2000 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on memory. In addition to his science textbooks, Kandel has written several books for a general readership, including In Search of Memory: The Emergence of a New Science of Mind (2007), and The Disordered Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us About Ourselves (2018).  In 2012 he spoke to the Institute about his book The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind, and Brain, from Vienna 1900 to the Present (Random House, 2012). About the book:  At the turn of the century, Vienna was the cultural capital of Europe. Artists and scientists met in glittering salons, where they freely exchanged ideas that led to revolutionary breakthroughs in psychology, brain science, literature, and art. Kandel takes us into the world of Vienna to trace, in rich and rewarding detail, the ideas and advances made then, and their enduring influence today. The Vienna School of Medicine led the way with its realization that truth lies hidden beneath the surface. That principle infused Viennese culture and strongly influenced the other pioneers of Vienna 1900. Sigmund Freud shocked the world with his insights into how our everyday unconscious aggressive and erotic desires are repressed and disguised in symbols, dreams, and behavior. Arthur Schnitzler revealed women's unconscious sexuality in his novels through his innovative use of the interior monologue. Gustav Klimt, Oscar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele created startlingly evocative and honest portraits that expressed unconscious lust, desire, anxiety, and the fear of death. Kandel tells the story of how these pioneers--Freud, Schnitzler, Klimt, Kokoschka, and Schiele--inspired by the Vienna School of Medicine, in turn influenced the founders of the Vienna School of Art History to ask pivotal questions such as What does the viewer bring to a work of art? How does the beholder respond to it? These questions prompted new and ongoing discoveries in psychology and brain biology, leading to revelations about how we see and perceive, how we think and feel, and how we respond to and create works of art. Kandel, one of the leading scientific thinkers of our time, places these five innovators in the context of today's cutting-edge science and gives us a new understanding of the modernist art of Klimt, Kokoschka, and Schiele, as well as the school of thought of Freud and Schnitzler. Reinvigorating the intellectual enquiry that began in Vienna 1900, The Age of Insight is a wonderfully written, superbly researched, and beautifully illustrated book that also provides a foundation for future work in neuroscience and the humanities. It is an extraordinary book from an international leader in neuroscience and intellectual history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back for episode 4 of Artist & Place! This week we've got an interview with artist, sculptor, and public artists, Karen Snouffer from Gambier, Ohio.  Karen shares ideas behind her work, how work can inhabit awkward, playful and silly moments, how work can create a sense of space that has its own narratives of relationship.  Karen creates abstract mixed-media objects, collage, painting and installation, exploring tensions in movement and how contradiction has the power to expand that tension and beauty. Karen has exhibited nationally inMiami, New York, and LA to name a few. Karen has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards and has work in numbers private collections.  We talk about Robert Bilder's book: The Edge of Chaos: Where Creativity Flourishes and learn more about chaos theory here.

A 40th birthday party for a great friend gathers childhood friends and creates a nostalgic atmosphere full of memories. Keith wakes up feeling motivated and optimistic for the future these feelings fuel some thought and a great discussion. Discussion points and knowledge found from these resources;https://youtu.be/s--bdwJ60Ks You are your memories, Ryan Cummins, TedTalk Hollywood Nobel Price winning neuroscientist Dr Eric Kandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Kandel"You are who you are by what you learn and what you remember you are your memories."

His mother was a popular science editor who valued creativity and self-motivation. She allowed Amir to stay home from school whenever he wanted and study what interested him. This sparked a passion for learning. After his compulsory army service, Amir enrolled in medical school at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Here he received many awards. He is now at Columbia University as a Principal Investigator. Levine works together with Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Eric Kandel on a National Institute of Health sponsored research project. He also has a private practice in Manhattan. Introduction https://geni.us/attached-audiobook (Attached) investigates the science of love. Understanding your attachment style and your potential partner's attachment style is key to finding and sustaining love. We have known about attachment styles since the 1950s, but he was investigating them within children. The reality is these attachment styles impact our future relationships too. This book has been translated into 11 languages. StoryShot #1: Attachment Styles Will Help You Understand Your Romantic Relationships Partners will often have different reactions to being away from their loved ones. While one partner may be distressed, the other may be unaffected by time apart. These different responses are related to individual attachment styles. The authors describe attachment as the bond between two people which generally lasts for long periods. The most common attachment often spoken about is the mother-child bond. There's lots of research suggesting that the attachment style we form with our mother has a big impact on our future relationships. The authors use a study to show this. Researchers wanted to investigate the healing potential of strong attachment. So, they placed female participants in stressful situations but let half of the participants hold their partner's hand. The results showed that the hypothalamus, the brain area that deals with emotional pressure, was less active in holding their partner's hand. This effect only seems to be the case if you have a strong and secure attachment with your partner. For example, other research has found that spending time with a partner from an unhappy relationship can lead to raised blood pressure and feelings of discomfort. StoryShot #2: Bowlby's Research Is the Foundation of Attachment Styles The author explains that there are three types of attachment. These are avoidant, anxious and secure. Each indicates a different way of understanding intimacy and approaching communication within a relationship. These three attachment styles were developed from research by a psychologist called John Bowlby. He theorized that children have an instinctual need for motherly affection. This theory was based on Monkeys choosing a comforter over food and another psychologist finding large differences between children in how they responded to being separated from their parents for a short period of time. StoryShot #3: There Are Three Types of Attachment Here is a basic outline of each of the attachment styles before we delve deeper into each of them: Secure - Invite intimacy without...

In 1993 three giants in the field of neural research got together to discuss their work and how it related to learning and memory. Dr. Timothy Tully, former Senior Staff Investigator at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Dr. Eric Kandel, 2000 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology/Medicine, and the late Dr. Patricia Goldman-Rakic, Professor of Neuroscience at the Yale University School of Medicine, spent time discussing their different research approaches and what they were discovering about how human beings learn, acquire new information, and hold on to it. From Pavlov to genetics, these scientists were opening new doors to understanding how …

It is bewildering how some memories grip us for life, whereas others completely disappear. It turns out, the brain creates and eliminates these memories. What are the neural mechanisms behind memory formation? Discussed in this episode: Pioneers in neuroscientific memory research, Donald Hebb's influential postulates on memory in the brain, Eric Kandel's work confirming Hebb's postulates, the ground-breaking case of H.M.'s surgically-induced amnesia, the neural mechanisms of memory formation, where memories are stored in the brain, and optogenetic research on memory manipulation.   Further reading: Matthew Cobb, "The Idea of the Brain: A History" (Profile Books, 2020).   https://www.insightfulthinkersmedia.com/

This is episode #43. Welcome to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, my name is Andrea Samadi, I’m a former educator whose been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports and the workplace for the past 20 years. The next three episodes will be solo lessons to dive deeper into Dr. John Medina’s episode #42 that I could probably spend the next year on.For those who have not read his Brain Rules book, or would like a quick review, I’ll outline them briefly with thoughts on why they are so important to implement into YOUR daily life with some applicable strategies. Here are Dr. John Medina’s Brain Rules[i]: If you click on the link in the show notes, you will be taken to his website and can watch a video on each rule. I also highly recommend reading the book, because there are so many examples that will bring these rules to life.RULE 1:  EXERCISE: Exercise boosts brain power.  Did you know that “aerobic exercise, just twice a week, halves your risk of general dementia? It also cuts your risk of Alzheimer’s by 60 percent.” (Summary Rule 1, Brain Rules, Page 28). I also heard this from Dr. Daniel Amen in his “Thrive by 25”[ii] online course where he talks about a recent study that rigorous aerobic exercise over a 12-week period, was just as effective for those suffering from depression as taking an anti-depressant.  This class talked about the fact that aerobic exercise, like brisk walking, swimming, running or cycling seems to solve EVERY brain or health problem. The solutions were always to improve your diet and add aerobic exercise. This should be incentive enough for everyone to be sure they are moving at least 3 times a week for at least 20 minutes, or that’s what Dr. Medina would say will have an impact on your brain and improve cognition, problem solving and emotional regulation. I found it interesting that he mentions that strength training did not improve cognition in the studies, but I still think both strength training and aerobic exercise are important to do on a weekly basis, regardless of whether one is making you smarter or not. The latter will definitely make you stronger and is important to include as we age.RULE 2:  SURVIVAL: The human brain evolved, too.I’m sure by now you have heard that the brain’s main function is to keep us safe, something that’s been built in for our survival. If we think about evolution and the survival of the fittest, what happened with the human brain when it evolved and adapted over time was that the brain got smarter with evolution, not stronger. We can clearly see how the human brain and cognition is vastly different than other animals.  The human brain consists of 3 main parts (the hindbrain that developed first, that keeps us breathing, the midbrain that keeps us alert and where our emotions are stored and the last part of the brain to develop, the forebrain that holds the most power with our thinking/reasoning, emotional regulation, and cognitive functions. Our ability to think and reason is what separates us from the animal kingdom and a feature of our brain that we shouldn’t waste or take lightly. Since we have this unique ability, I think it’s our responsibility to pay attention to this important part of our brain and continue to develop and improve our thinking and reasoning skills.RULE 3:  WIRING: Every brain is wired differently.The experiences that you have in your life, “what you do and learn in life physically changes what your brain looks like—it literally rewires it.” (Summary Rule 3, Brain Rules).  This explains why we are all different since “no two people’s brains store the same information in the same place.” (Summary 3, Brain Rules, Page 70). This rule is important to understand since each person we interact with throughout our life will be different with their life experience. We have to learn to read and understand people better, and this can be done with Theory of Mind Skills[iii] that we will investigate at a deeper level in a future episode. We cannot ignore the fact that “every student’s brain, every employee’s brain, every customer’s brain is wired differently. Eric Kandel, an Austrian-American medical doctor who specialized in Psychiatry, who was also a neuroscientist won the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 2000 for his discovery that a single neuron in a sea slug can grow new axons and dendrites and that “when people learn something, the wiring in their brain changes.” (Chapter 3 Wiring, Page 57). This explains why my brain will be completely different from your brain. We all have different life experiences that will build and shape our brains. The key is to learn how to interact with and honor our individual differences.RULE 4:  ATTENTION: We don't pay attention to boring things.I’m sure you have heard that “audiences check out after 10 minutes” (Summary 4, Brain Rules, Page 94) or that the brain can only focus on one thing at a time, making multitasking a bad idea. The funny thing is that although you may have heard of the fact that the “average person’s attention span is shorter than that of a goldfish, there’s no evidence that human attention is shrinking or that goldfishes have particularly short attention spans either.”[iv] We do know that when audiences are checking out after 10 minutes, we can grab their attention back by “telling narratives or creating events rich in emotion.” Emotions help memories form and stick so if you want to make your next presentation or lesson memorable, the best way is to somehow connect with your audience or class with a story that they connect to on an emotional level. This activates the mirror neurons in your audience, and they will listen, connect with you and trust you on a deeper level.RULE 5: MEMORY (SHORT-TERM): Repeat to remember.This rule explains why we must repeat something in order to remember it, or at least to pull it out of our short term or working memory. There are two types of memory: declarative (for facts) and non-declarative (for things we find difficult to explain, like how we ride a bicycle, or something we do, but can’t declare or explain it).  Let’s take a closer look at declarative memory.Declarative memory follows 3 stages of processing:Encoding: When we take in information, it’s “like a blender left running with the lid off. The information is literally sliced into…pieces as it enters the brain and splattered all over the insides of our mind).[v] We “remember things much better the more elaborately we encode (or convert) what we encounter, especially if we can personalize it.”[vi] For example, if I want to remember a phone number, something we don’t need to do that often these days, try to associate pictures or images with each number to be sure you encode the numbers into your mind. I have heard this method called ridiculous association. The crazier the image you put with each number, the easier it is for your brain to remember it. You would think that making this elaborate story in our heads would be more work for our memory system, but it isn’t. “More complexity means greater learning.”[vii] Storing: “The neurons in the cortex (the outer bark of the brain) are deeply involved in permanent memory storage.”[viii] Memories are not stored in one place, like we would imagine, they are stored all over the surface of the cortex. Retrieval: Of information can be improved if you are able to replicate the conditions to the initial encoding. You remember best if you can put yourself in that same environment for in which you first put it into your brain. We also remember information best when it’s “elaborate, meaningful and contextual”[ix] so providing real-world examples to anything you want to remember is important. RULE 6: MEMORY (LONG-TERM): Remember to repeat.We know that most memories disappear within a few minutes, and we often forget what we have learned in class after 30 days, so how can we guarantee information be retained in our long-term memory? The best strategies we have heard in other episodes with Dr. John Dunlosky[x] and his idea of spaced repetition. We learn best and remember when we repeat what we want to learn in intervals or by using spaced repetition.RULE 7:  SLEEP: Sleep well, think well.I’m sure you have heard that “loss of sleep hurts attention, executive function, working memory, mood, quantitative skills, logical reasoning, and even motor dexterity.” (Summary 7, Brain Rules, Page 168). Staying up late and scrimping on sleep is no longer the “in” thing to do when it comes to productivity and results. There are even hundreds of sleep apps that you can use to see how well you are sleeping, that log REM sleep, deep sleep and light sleep and can give you a score that shows you how mentally sharp you will feel the next day based on your score. Dr. Medina agrees that people “vary in now much sleep they need” but circadian rhythm expert, Dr. Satchin Panda[xi] explains that “8 hours of sleep is not everyone’s number, but aim to have 7-8 hours in bed” which means you can wake up and read or meditate and you will still be on track for a productive day.RULE 8:  STRESS: Stressed brains don't learn the same way.We know there are 3 levels of stress response.POSITIVE: Brief increase in heart rate, mild elevations in stress hormone levels (what happens when we need to speak in front of a crowd, play a sport, take a test, or that nervous energy we feel before a job interview).TOLERABLE: Serious, temporary stress responses, buffered by supportive relationships. The key is to have support systems in place for this type of stress.TOXIC: Prolonged activation of stress response systems in the absence of protective relationships. This is the one we are most concerned about as educators as this type of stress causes the most damage. (For us as well as our students).“Under chronic stress, adrenaline creates scars in your blood vessels that can cause a heart attack or stroke, and cortisol damages the cells of the hippocampus, crippling your ability to learn and remember.” (Summary 8, Brain Rules, Page 195).So, we really need to be sure we have stress reduction strategies in place to help us deal with positive and tolerable stress, and a plan in place if we have toxic stress in our lives. If we don’t take control of our stress, it will definitely take control of us.RULE 9: SENSORY INTEGRATION: Stimulate more of the senses.Did you know that “we absorb information about an event through our senses, translate it into electrical signals (some from sight, others from sound) disperse these signals to separate parts of the brain, then reconstruct what happened perceiving the event as a whole?” (Summary 9, Brain Rules, Page 219). Our brain also relies on past experience when deciphering an event, and since everyone’s brain is different, two people will have a different perception of the same event. Smells also have an “unusual power to bring back memories, because smell signals bypass the thalamus and head straight to their destinations” (Summary 9, Brain Rules, Page 2019) and smell directly stimulates the amygdala that in turn stimulates emotions. We do learn best if we can stimulate several senses at once, since our senses work best paired together. If I want to improve my focus, I usually keep peppermint essential oil nearby so I can focus on writing something new, like this lesson.  We have seen this phenomenon in department stores that pair scents with the shopping experience to boost sales, or even the fact that some stores, like Starbucks, won’t allow their employees to wear perfume because it would distract customers from the smell of coffee. Either way, the more we can have a multi-sensory experience, whether in school or the workplace, the more we can improve our results.RULE 10:  VISION: Vision trumps all other senses.“Vision is by far our most dominant sense, taking up half of our brain’s resources” (Summary 10, Brain Rules, Page 240) and “what we see is only what our brain tells us to see.” Information hits the retina in the eye, and depending on the wavelength of light, will depend on the color that our brain’s visual center sees. Each eye takes in “a slice of the visual world which is processed in the opposite brain hemisphere before integration into a coherent image.”[xii] If you want to strengthen your neural networks for your vision, neurologist Richard Restak suggests to “closely observe all facets of objects like a bonsai tree”[xiii] since there is so much for the eye to see. RULE 11:  GENDER: Male and female brains are different.Did you know that men’s and women’s brains are “different structurally and biochemically—men have bigger amygdala and produce serotonin faster and women and men respond differently to stress.” (Summary 11, Brain Rules, Page 260).  Women remember emotional details easier not because they are more emotional, but because “they perceive their emotional landscape with more data points (or detail) and see it in greater resolution.”[xiv] RULE 12:  EXPLORATION: We are powerful and natural explorers.“Babies are the model of how we learn—not by passive reaction, but by active testing through observation, hypothesis, experiment and conclusion.” (Summary 12, Brain Rules, Page 280). Google actually allows their employees time for this exploration—it’s called “20 percent time” where they can just let their minds wander and think and this is where products like “Gmail and Google News”[xv] came from.  Mark Robert Waldman[xvi], one of the leading neuroscience researchers in the country calls this time “mind-wandering” and explains it’s crucial for the creative process. When you are able to let your mind wander, you will have flashes of insight that you must write down, and then investigate or explore the idea when you are in a more focused state.To integrate these Brain Rules into your daily life, I suggest picking one to work on and focus on, at a time. Think of the goals that you are currently working on and pick one Rule that you think will help you to see things a new and different way. I highly recommend reading the book, watching the videos that go with each chapter and then write down a couple of strategies you will implement right away for each rule.THINK ABOUT THIS:Think about the rules you are already using. Are there any that you have integrated into your daily routine already?For Brain Rule #1, I can clearly see how exercise boosts brain power. I make sure I integrate aerobic activity into my day, especially when I need to write or create something new. Without this rule, I would have a hard time focusing or even sitting still, let alone write anything. The more brain power I need, the more exercise I get. Rule #7, the sleep rule is something I am always working on. Using a sleep app has helped to log my sleep and see how I’m improving on a day to day basis. I liked hearing from the sleep expert that 8 hours of sleep isn’t something that we must all get, but to aim for 7-8 hours in bed, so we can wake up and meditate and that can be included in our rest time.  REFERENCES:[i] http://www.brainrules.net/the-rules [ii] https://brainmd.com/brain-thrive-by-25[iii] How the Theory of Mind Helps Us to Understand Others https://www.verywellmind.com/theory-of-mind-4176826[iv] 72 Amazing Brain Facts #32 by Deane Alban https://bebrainfit.com/human-brain-facts/[v] Page 104, Brain Rules[vi] Page 111 Brain Rules[vii] Page 111 Brain Rules[viii] Page 112 Brain Rules[ix] Page 114 Brain Rules[x] EPISODE 37 Dr. John Dunlosky https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-john-dunlosky-on-improving-student-success-some/id1469683141?i=1000463221516[xi] https://blog.daveasprey.com/satchin-panda-560/[xii] National Geographic “Your Brain: 100 Things You Never Knew.” (2018)[xiii] National Geographic “Your Brain: 100 Things You Never Knew.” (2018)[xiv] Page 258 Brain Rules[xv] Page 274 Brain Rules[xvi] EPISODE 30 Mark Robert Waldman on “12 Brain-Based Experiential Living and Learning Principles.” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/neuroscience-researcher-mark-robert-waldman-on-12-brain/id1469683141?i=1000458597396

Prof. Eric Kandel ist Nobelpreisträger der Medizin, Neurowissenschaftler und Kunstliebhaber. Anlässlich der Verleihung des nach ihm benannten Eric Kandel Young Neuroscientists Prize der Hertie-Stiftung war er in Frankfurt. Wir haben mit ihm über die Beziehung von Kunst und Wissenschaft gesprochen, warum jeder Mensch anders auf Kunst reagiert - und welches Bild er sich von seiner Frau zum nächsten Geburtstag wünscht.

Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Eric Kandel talks about leaving Austria during World War II, his relationship with Vienna today, and his life work studying the brain & the mind.

Julius Wagner-Jauregg, Egas Moniz i Eric Kandel to trzej laureaci nagrody Nobla w dziedzinie fizjologii lub medycyny którzy w ścisły sposób związani są z psychiatrią. Na trudny rozwój psychiatrii jako nauki wskazuje tematyka badań za które naukowcom tym przyznana została ta prestiżowa nagroda. Jauregg zajmował się indukowaniem gorączki jako remedium na różne choroby w tym choroby psychiczne oraz choroby układu nerwowego (rok 1927). Moniz wyróżnienie otrzymał za opracowanie metody leczenia chorób psychicznych, którą znamy jako lobotomię przedczołową (rok 1949). Najbardziej współczesny nam, Kandel, nagrodę otrzymał za prace nad fizjologicznymi podstawami pamięci, które były bardzo ważnym elementem jego własnej wizji psychiatrii jako nauki. Metody rozwijane przez każdego z uczonych mogą być krytykowane, jednak niezaprzeczalnie są to milowe kroki na drodze rozwoju tej dość kontrowersyjnej nauki, jaką jest psychiatria. W wystąpieniu Bartosz Janik odniesie się również do współczesnej debaty dotycząca naukowych podstaw psychiatrii i spróbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy możliwa jest pełna naturalizacja psychiatrii.

In honor of George Klein, leading cancer researcher and strong advocate for bridging culture and science, Judisk Kultur i Sverige together with the George and Eva Klein foundation and Karolinska Institutet are proud to host Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel and American star artist Jeff Koons.

Konstverk som tar en stund att tolka aktiverar fler delar av hjärnan, visar den forskning som nobelpristagaren Eric Kandel ägnar sig åt nu vid snart 90 års ålder. Vi var med när han framträdde tillsammans med konstnären Jeff Koons. Hur ryktesspridning försvårar insatserna mot ebola i Demokratiska republiken Kongo och vad som får oss att tro på rykten hör vi också om i Veckomagasinet. Nya framsteg inom artificiell intelligens nås när en dator vinner över människor i ett så kallat förstapersonskjutarspel. Vi besöker den oansenliga men viktiga stugan i värmlandsskogen där kärnvapenprov i fjärran länder nu spårats i femtio år, och vi uppmärksammar också jubileet för när Einsteins relativitetsteori kunde bevisas. Dessutom tar vi en tur till sjöss med den unika vätgaskatamaranen som besöker Stockholm. Programledare Lena Nordlund.

Als Eric Kandel 10 Jahre alt ist muss er Wien verlassen. 1939 hat kein Kind in der Klasse mehr mit ihm gesprochen, weil er Jude ist. Die Eltern fürchten wegen ihres Glaubens verhaftet zu werden. Heute, fast 80 Jahre später, kehrt der Nobelpreisträger Eric Kandel nach Wien zurück. Zum 100. Geburtstag der Republik Österreich hält er die Festrede für das neue "Haus der Geschichte Österreich" (HdGÖ). Am 10. November wird das Haus der Geschichte Österreich (HdGÖ) feierlich eröffnet. Ernst Molden und die Wiener Band Kreisky machen ihre Aufwartung und spielen am Heldenplatz. Ein zeitgeschichtliches Museum ist ein Prestigeprojekt. Es soll die Geschichte eines demokratischen Landes diskutieren und festschreiben. In Österreich kommt dieses Museum denkbar spät und ist - kurz vor seiner Eröffnung - schon wieder mit einem Ablaufdatum behaftet. Kuratorin Birgit Johler fragen wir, was das für unsere derzeitige Interpretation von Geschichte bedeutet.  Foto: (c) Herta Hurnaus

This Overshare is an in-studio conversation with film director and creative director Elena Parasco (@elenaparasco). Host Justin Gignac (@justingignac) chat's with Elena about her burgeoning directing career and the motivation behind it. Instead of complaining about the lack of content that represented women in sport in a way that relates to her, she decided to make her own. The result is a growing body of work that examines sport and play through the female gaze. Disrupting those traditional, cliché stereotypes of sports imagery that we’re used to and making work that celebrates more accessible female role models. Elena is tenacious and resilient when trying to get her ideas out into the world, whether for herself or for clients like Nike, Air Jordan, A$AP Rocky, Calvin Klein, and Guess. She touches on how her non-traditional background studying cognitive science and psychology has informed her creative career and filmmaking. And is adamant about the necessity to have women in the room when creating content. In this episode, you will learn about embracing the doubt of others as motivation and how to find happiness in small wins. Especially, when going through challenging times in your career.

Mit ihrem Sigi-Maurer-Protestsong hat die Wiener Künstlerin Mascha einen viralen Hit gelandet. Der Song soll provozieren aber auch zum diskutieren anregen. "Wir haben Angst vor Sigi-Maurer" die ersten Zeilen des Sigi-Maurer-Songs stellen die Welt vermeintlich auf den Kopf. Nicht die Angegriffenen haben Angst, sondern die Angreifer, die anonymen Hassposter im Netz. 45.000 Views (Stand. 29.10.18) hat die Wiener Künstlerin Mascha nach einer Woche unter ihrem Video und viele Kommentare. Nicht alle beantwortet sie aber wo es geht, geht sie in den Diskurs.  "Leute, die sexistisch sind werden durch dieses Lied entlarvt." "Ich glaube die beste Herangehensweise ist so viel wie möglich zurückzuspiegeln, von dem Verhalten, was von den Leuten kommt. Damit man ihnen eine Selbstreflexion entgegenbringt und sie darüber nachdenken, ob sie ihr Verhalten ein bisschen ändern könnten." Maschas Methode hatte Erfolg. "Viele hätten gar nicht erwartet, dass ich antworte. Aber hinter jeder Aussage steht ein Mensch und wenn wir versuchen möglichst Respektvoll mit diesen Menschen umzugehen, dann kann man zumindest die Leute mal aus einer Wut rausholen - und ich glaube, dass da sehr viel Wut vor sich hinbrodelt in den Sozialen Medien." Haus der Geschichte Österreich Im zweiten Teil von #Vienna geht es um das "Haus der Geschichte Österreich". Am 10. November wird es eröffnen. Nobelpreisträger Eric Kandel wird die Festrede halten; Musiker wie Kreisky und Ernst Molden werden bei der Eröffnung spielen. Allerdings scheint das Prestigeprojekt der zweiten Republik bereits ein Ablaufdatum zu haben. Bis 2020 ist die Finanzierung gesichert - darüber hinaus nicht. Was das mit unserer Interpretation von Geschichte zu tun hat und was passiert, wenn wir ihr keinen Wert beimessen - darüber sprechen wir mit Kuratorin Birgit Johler vom "Haus der Geschichte Österreich". Belle Fin - "Fremde soll man küssen" Ein halbes Orchester hat Mitte Oktober das erste Album der Wiener Band "Belle Fin" im Schauspielhaus präsentiert. Fabian Belle Fin und Robin Ullmann sind Geschichtenerzähler. Ihre Lieder handeln vom Reisen, von Unterweltlern, vom Abgrund und von der Leichtigkeit. In #Vienna sprechen wir über Verbrechen, die nicht loslassen, die Hoffnung wieder ganz zu werden und ihre Musik.

Wherever you are right now, take a look around you. Let your eyes rest on the first thing that catches your attention. For me, while writing this, it’s a bowl in Big Think’s offices. Highly polished, assembled, it seems, from curved, stained strips of wood. If I kept going, I might get to a particular wooden coffee table of my childhood. Its reassuring warmth and sturdiness. How I turned it into a fort and camped out under there, watching Saturday Night Live. All the abuse it took over the years from me and my sister, without complaint. And how unaware and ungrateful we were for its patient suffering. My guest today, Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard, has taken this kind of unflinching observation, association, and  insight to a level few of us can imagine doing, writing a six-volume series about his life and world called MY STRUGGLE. He followed this 2500 page, addictively readable masterpiece with a seasonal series of vignettes. The newest book, WINTER, has short meditations on everything from toothbrushes to Owls to alcoholism, and it’s one of the wisest, saddest, and most beautiful things I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.

Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research Interview starts at 11:17 and ends at 36:16 “I don't think they [Amazon] really expect the fashion angle to be a big driver of these [Echo Look] devices. They needed a pretext. They needed a reason to put a camera in your home, to see how comfortable you are with that idea, to test whether or not there's a big social outcry about putting cameras in people's homes, whether they can start connecting what they see with what they know... Eventually that kind of visual intelligence will be a very crucial part of how Amazon builds a deeper relationship with you.

Since 2008, Big Think has been sharing big ideas from creative and curious minds. The Think Again podcast takes us out of our comfort zone, surprising our guests and Jason Gots, your host, with unexpected conversation starters from Big Think’s interview archives.  On this week's episode: Professor Eric Kandel of Columbia University and host Jason Gotsdiscuss abstract art, memory, identity, and the nature of evil. When he was 9 years old, Eric Kandel listened on a short-wave radio his brother had made as Hitler marched into Kandel's hometown of Vienna, Austria. The next day, a non-Jewish classmate told him "Kandel, I'm never to speak to you again." In the year 2000, He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for pioneering work on understanding how memory is stored in the brain by studying a particular type of sea snail with a relatively simple nervous system. In his recent books, he’s been pioneering in a different way––trying to bridge the gap between the “two cultures” of the sciences and the humanities. His current book Reductionism in Art and Brain Science continues this essential work by looking at the ways both modern art and science “reduce” complex phenomena down to their component parts to achieve new insights and effects.

Kommer vi någonsin förstå den mänskliga hjärnan? Vi möter Nobelpristagaren Eric Kandel - världens kanske allra mest kända hjärnforskare. Han berättar om resan till Nobelpriset och ger sin syn på om människan innerst inne är ond eller god.

Eric Kandel ha dedicado toda una vida de investigación a indagar los mecanismos que permiten la consolidación y luego el recuerdo de eventos ocurridos hace mucho tiempo. A sus 85 años, en un video muy agradable, recuerda el día y todo lo que sucedió cuando se casó con su esposa hace 59 años. Dice que es fácil hacerlo pues ha sido la única vez pero cuando termina de reírse, algo que hace con mucha facilidad, empieza a explicar el modelo que lo ha convertido en uno de los neurocientíficos más admirados y respetados en el mundo. En el año 2000 recibió el Nobel por sus innumerables descubrimientos.

How little we know about what our ancestors really ate for dinner, with Richard Wrangham (0:00). How the field of neuroscience has changed over the past 25 years, with Eric Kandel (8:17). How countries are working to shape economic and social policies on biotechnology, even as the field is rapidly growing, with Jim Philp (15:15). Plus, sample a selection of the hottest new papers from Cell Press (21:43).

We'll explore the role of the unconscious mind on learning, memory, creativity and learning with neuroscientist Eric Kandel, the author of the new book, The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind and Brain. Kandel mixes science, medicine and art to help us better understand the the human mind and behavior. His work -- including the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2000 -- explores how the nerve cells in our brains give rise to perception, memory, emotion, empathy and creativity.
