Episode 7 Dr. Andrew Saykin The Three Pound Universe

24 Jun, 2019

In this episode we get to know Dr. Andrew Saykin Director, Center for Neuroimaging at Indiana University School of Medicine.

Dr. Saykin is one of the world’s leading authorities on neuroimaging, and his expertise is critical to diagnosing and understanding how Alzheimer’s disease progresses. When I did the original interviews for the storytelling project in 2014 I was curious about how our brains are functioning when we experience storytelling and if it reacts differently than regular functions throughout the day. That led me to Dr. Saykin who give us some interesting insight into the 3 pound universe our brain. 

 

The storytelling series was born out of 16 interviews I did in 2014 for a documentary on storytelling and how we use storytelling in all walks of life. Life and work pulled me away from the project and the awesome interviews have sat on my hardrive since then. I am now releasing the interviews in podcast format.
