Books by David Eagleman mentioned on podcasts
David Eagleman's explorations of neuroscience and speculative fiction received attention on multiple science and interview programs. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Jordan Peterson discussed Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain, noting how the book dedicates considerable attention to the mechanics of perception, while Eagleman later mentioned his book Livewired in the context of brain plasticity. On Freakonomics Radio and People I (Mostly) Admire, host Steve Levitt spoke with Eagleman about Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives, asking him to describe the speculative fiction collection, while co-host Steven Dubner praised both Livewired and Sum as insightful mini books exploring brain research and imaginative tales. Eagleman appeared on The Jordan Harbinger Show to discuss Livewired, explaining his choice of the term liveware to describe dynamic neural networks rather than rigid hardware or software. On the Lex Fridman Podcast, Lex Fridman introduced Eagleman as an author of prominent works on the mind, and Eagleman referenced a story presented at the conclusion of his book Incognito.
